Lighthouse
Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec
A sculptural, voluptuous and enchanting object, the Lighthouse combines Venetian hand-blown glass with industrially engineered aluminium and pure marble to create an enduring contemporary classic.
An elegant equation of modern and traditional craftsmanship, the Lighthouse balances a Venetian mouth blown glass shade on an industrially engineered aluminium arm, weighted by a marble column. Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec cleverly draw our attention to the precariousness of the equilibrium while providing a sturdy, sculptural, voluptuous and enchanting light. Impressive and an instant success the
Lighthouse now stands in prestigious museum collections and has the potential to become a prized heirloom, handed down to the next generation of collectors.
