GLOW 2 By KAIA
Suspension lamp in crystal and papier-mâché
2020
Sophie Dries
Raw paper appears to ‘grow’ over two mouth-blown glass eggs, suspended by hand-crafted brass to create a chandelier that contrasts sharp geometricity with organic form. Part of the GLOW collection in collaboration with Sophie Dries, GLOW 2 is a lighting object in which technical precision and material delicacy sit side-by-side.

GLOW is a new collection inspired by the Inner Glow – a sculptural lighting piece designed in collaboration with French architect and designer Sophie Dries. This collection sees Inner Glow’s grandeur distilled into a more compact form suitable for the contemporary home. The designers’ choice of paper is an evolution of the papier-mâché process and has a raw, textural quality that resembles stone. The glass is custom-made for Kaia by an artisan glassmaker, layered onto these mouth-blown glass eggs, the paper appears to ‘grow’ and take on a life of its own.
