Description
Overview
In Buds 1 Table, from 2016, the lead role goes to the blown glass shade, long in form and made by craft in five layers. A see-through foot below it underlines the grace of Rodolfo Dordoni's design.
Construction
The glass is glossy and carries a pale straw-yellow inner layer. Below the shade, a clear PMMA cylinder is milled in a pattern and then hand-polished until it gleams. A ring nut shaped like a cup fixes the glass, and a clear cord with an ON/OFF switch exits through an oblique groove.
Specifications
- Size: 26 x 26 x 57 cm (W x D x H)
- Glass and foot: blown glass over PMMA
- Net weight: 4.9 kg
- Colours: 2
Story
A shade drawn long
Buds 1 Table gives its blown glass an elongated outline and builds it by hand in five layers. Prized materials and a clear foot give the lamp its sophisticated richness.
Light and ivory
The straw-yellow layer inside warms the glow. Warm white glass looks ivory when the lamp burns and white when it is off.
