NULTY BESPOKE
COMPLETES ‘ ENVOLÉE ’
– A NEW INSTALLATION CRAFTED FOR A PRIVATE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE HEART OF LONDON
The inspiration behind the feature came from the strength , beauty and power of birds , with the design focusing on the aerodynamic formation of a bird ’ s wing and the movement of birds in flight . The intricate design comprises of 170 individual ‘ bird ’ components , each one made from hand-blown clear glass . Whilst still molten , each component was manipulated to form a shape resembling wings and then dipped into water to create a cracking effect . The glass birds were then placed into a furnace to ensure that they solidified and remained stable pieces . This process also creates a glistening texture giving the impression of a bird gliding through clear skies . The crackled effect on the surface of each component allows them to catch the light and sparkle in suspended glory .
