Glowing Fire

The glass components of the Blaze lighting fixture resemble flames creeping up and licking burning objects. The freedom of this element, which has fascinated us through the centuries, is also enhanced by the colorfulness of this lighting fixture. Transparent crystal symbolizes oxygen – an element essential for existence; the warm shades of amber are reminiscent of fire itself.

Blaze was designed by Adéla, who has been working as a Preciosa designer since September 2009. As a student she presented herself with her first light fixture design at last year’s Euroluce trade fair. Since her early studies at the Secondary Glass Art School she has been focusing on artistic glass working. She is a graduate of Jan Evangelista Purkyně University in Ústí nad Labem, where she specialized in "Applied Arts – Glass Specialization". Her future role of light fixture designer was already apparent in her thesis, which she created together with Preciosa and in which she shaped a design proposal for a light fixture.

And what does she say about herself? "I perceive art as a form of expression and an opportunity for absolute freedom in the process of creation. Designing light fixtures is a personal and emotional matter for me. Thinking about the future sketch drives me further along on the imaginary ladder and, at the same time, it enriches me very much."
