The Elemental series has been thoughtfully designed to capture the essence of nature, with a focus on unadorned beauty and organic form. Each piece within the Elemental collection speaks to the idea of ‘perfection with imperfection,’ celebrating the intrinsic beauty of free-blown glass. Venus is a versatile pendant that can be displayed individually over dining tables or kitchen islands, or grouped together with the new editions of the Neptune, Lozenge Squircle and Lozenge Wave pendants to create a striking sculptural arrangement, perfect for larger spaces.
Designer and founder, Esther Patterson, comments ‘the Elemental collection is about embracing the fundamental, primary elements of design – light, form, and material. By paring back the design to its most essential elements, we’ve created pieces that are both serene and powerful, allowing the beauty of the glass to speak for itself.’
Each piece in the Elemental Collection is meticulously crafted using traditional glassblowing techniques. The process begins with the glassblower rotating a long pipe, blowing air into a hot, molten sphere of glass. This sphere is then skilfully elongated through a swinging motion, resulting in the distinct shapes that define the Venus. After slowly cooling in a kiln, the glass is hand-finished with precision drilling and grinding, sand-blasting and polishing, creating an illuminated artwork that retains the true essence of its molten origins.
The Venus features hand-milled Brushed Steel endcaps.
