BLUM: PETALS OF LIGHT
Blum, designed by Marcello Furlan for Axo Light, is an
exquisite collection of blown glass and metal suspended
ceiling lamps, and the concept developed from a study
of natural and organic elements reinterprets the traditional
forms of Venetian glasswork: an abundance of glass vases
like sunrays burst out of a chrome-plated metal sphere,
densely covering its surface to form a five-lobed flower that
forms an impressive “blossom of crystal”.
This light comes in a choice of two finishes, both of which
possess an individual charm: the crystal finish plays on
the refractive effect of glass creating a radiance of light
that gives this suspended model a floaty, lightweight
appearance, reminiscent of a dandelion just before it
disperses its seeds to the wind. The chrome plated glass
version, on the contrary, features a special reflective effect,
creating streaks of changing light and making the light
similar to metal liquid on which luminous flowers float.
This suspended lighting source has a light bulb in
each single glass vase: the combined effect of these
bulbs is a diffused light without an unpleasant glare, as
each single bulb lights the edge of the five-lobed vase
bringing out the suppleness and softness of a lamp that
transforms into a unique and impressive furnishing and
decorative feature.
and is sold accompanied by a precious blown-glass vase,
a flower borrowed from the lamp’s halo of light, whose
characteristics make it ideal both for holding flowers and
as a pleasant furnishing feature.
