Frozen Pendant Lamp

Silver A' Design Award Winner 2025

This audio description presents a pendant lamp photographed against a dark atmospheric background, the fixture suspended at center and emitting warm interior light that creates a glowing focal point. Scanning from top to bottom, a slender brass rod approximately the width of a pencil descends from the upper edge, its surface exhibiting the warm golden tone of brushed brass suggesting metal that would feel smooth and slightly cool to the touch. This rod terminates in a small circular brass plate perhaps two centimeters in diameter that sits at the top of the glass form like a cap or mounting point. The glass diffuser below occupies the central two-thirds of the composition, presenting as a roughly spherical form approximately the size of a large grapefruit, rendered in frosted translucent glass that appears milky white where thickest and more luminous where thinner material allows greater light transmission. The exterior surface features irregular organic texturing along the edges resembling ice formations, frozen water droplets, or natural crystalline growth, this rough perimeter creating a silhouette that undulates rather than describing a perfect circle, the texture suggesting a surface that would feel cool, slightly rough, and varied beneath fingertips like frost on a window. Moving inward, the interior visible through the translucent material displays concentric circular rings spiraling toward the center like ripples in still water frozen in place, these striations creating smooth graduated transitions that would feel like gentle ridges if touched. At the very center, warm golden-white light glows with the comfortable warmth of candlelight or low incandescent illumination, suggesting a temperature one might feel as gentle warmth on the face when standing close. The background recedes into deep teal and emerald tones like dark polished stone or shadowed foliage, while blurred warm-toned organic shapes in the lower left and right corners suggest terracotta or wood in soft focus, creating an intimate atmospheric setting.

Combining impressions of the surrounding nature with the traditions of glass production and 3D printing technologies this was the idea of the project. Many people are fascinated by the northern nature, huge forests and winter landscapes. In order for each person to bring an element of this aesthetic at home and the Frozen collection was created. A fragment of the tree was used, which was scanned in 3D, and changed in a special program. This was done so that when creating a glass element, the wood pattern was more pronounced and the glare of light on it looked more interesting.
