Blown SW3 Pendant
Description
Before applying 3D technology, Samuel Wilkinson studied forms as varied as antique ceramics, old glass pieces and the texture of a raspberry. The inflation of each glass bubble came about then by way of 3D software to reach the best control of how the light would be refracted at diverse angles. No surprise that the London-based industrial design whiz gathered deserved acclaim at the London Design Festival for this mouth-blown Blown SW3 Pendant for Danish house &Tradition. The arresting quilted surface comes in 2 versions that produce distinctly opposite effects: a sandblasted matte opaque white that emits a subtle, sophisticated glow; or a burnished translucent silver luster that reveals intricate textures and patterns of light.

Design is never static. When Copenhagen-based &Tradition was established in 2010, founder Martin Kornbek Hansen's mission was to produce work that was defined by a unique vision, whether it came from Danish legends of the past or young innovators of the future. The roster extends from timeless luminaries such as Verner Panton and Arne Jacobsen to current leading lights Samuel Wilkinson and Norm.Architects to exciting new names Mia Hamborg and Victor Vetterlein. As the company's Kornbek Hansen puts it: "We see a kinship between the old masters, who were avant-garde in their time, and new designers creating the ground-breaking icons of today."
With its library of furniture and lighting extending from the 1930s to the present day, the firm is uniquely positioned to carry on the Nordic tradition of unstinting craftsmanship and adroit use of materials. Nonetheless, &Tradition sees its future in global terms, handpicking design talent and production facilities internationally in an effort to continually produce relevant product and engage a new generation of conscious consumers.
