EWE Studio in collaboration with Nouvel Limited produced an special golden edition of Magma lighting fixtures for Design Miami / Basel. The process began with creating molds varying in size and scale, hand carved in volcanic stone by local stonemasons.
The volcanic stone was chosen for the molds as it is not affected by the heat of the blown glass, due to its origin. Being an artisanal process, the shape, thickness and tonality differs, as a result giving unique characteristics to each one of the Magma ‘bubbles’.
The ethereal golden light is generated through acid finish that was applied on the amber glass surface, together with the hand hammered brass surface contained within the bubbles.
