灯塔
Lighthouse

2010

在设计这件名为“灯塔”的作品时，设计师的想法是要点亮一个由精致的铝棒支撑而起的巨大圆形玻璃体。他们试图表现出平衡中的不稳定性：有且只有一个不牢固的接触点，就如同玻璃最原始的状态，很危险地悬挂在吹杆上；同时设计师也希望表现出作品本身的脆弱性。然而作品本身融合三种不同元素的制作过程也令他们感到惊喜，因为从工艺上来说，作品底座以及铝棒的制作与玻璃吹制的传统工艺是恰恰相反的。

For Lighthouse, the designers’ idea was to light up a voluminous round glass structure that would be supported by a delicate aluminium stick to express the precariousness of balance. Just as a piece of glass hangs in its original state on the end of the blowing pipe, their design includes only one very precise point of contact between the stick and the column. This demonstrates the vulnerability of the column. While the base and the stick were made by industrial processes, the glass was blown using traditional techniques.
