The Nebulas are inspired by—and named after—the nebulas: interstellar clouds of gas and dust where stars are born. Each floating module is created using a technique developed by the studio known as caged glass, also referred to as encased or imprisoned glass. In this process, molten glass is blown inside a metal structure, allowing the glass bubble to find its way through the openings of the rigid silhouette, which ultimately determines its expression and direction.
The striking combination of these materials, together with a sophisticated lighting system, seeks to capture—through a new medium—the ethereal beauty of nebular gases and the vast emptiness of outer space.
Designed by EWE Studio, the Nebulas were later produced in collaboration with Nouvel Studio, one of Mexico’s leading glassblowing workshops, Nebula reflects EWE’s commitment to working alongside master artisans to push material experimentation within a contemporary context.
