Cage
Cage is a lighting series made of hand-blown glass units held inside metal cages. The glass forms are produced with hot glass blowing, while the metal cages are formed with a traditional mesh system. One of the cages is a pinter, a woven trap made for fishing by Mediterranean fishermen. The amorphous blown shapes refract light at different rates, creating a crystalline effect and casting patterned shadows on surrounding surfaces. The series includes suspended and floor-standing versions in different sizes. The intent is to connect light, glass and the idea of freedom.

The A' Lighting Products and Fixtures Design Award is an international, meritocratic, just and fair design award which honors excellent design of chandeliers, pendant lights, wall sconces, table lamps, floor lamps, outdoor lights, recessed lights, track lights and more.
