The powerful melody of the form language, woven for eternity
This timelessly elegant masterpiece creates the impression that glass pieces have been intricately woven together. It evokes both the fragility and, at the same time, the durabilty of relationships.
Dessí crafted a basket-like structure from hexagonally bent glass tubes, combined with colorful silk cords, known as passementerie.
This remarkable design is actually inspired by a more than 300-year-old early Baroque chandelier with slender glass arms. Drawing influence from the shape of traditional Arabic lanterns, he completely reinvented the glass arms of the mentioned “Schloss Hof” chandelier.
Dessí explored the relationship between the emotional and the technical aspects of a lighting object, as well as the interplay between passionate craftsmanship and the technicalities of production.
His goal was to achieve versatility in the core design. The chandelier offers flexibility for various lamp arrangements within an architectural context, as well as the option for a custom color scheme for the casing. A twisted spiral on a slender stem with small pinpoint lights serves as an accentuating lighting element.
The Basket is available in various sizes, suspension lengths, and finishes, including gold and polished nickel. The connecting silk cords come in an impressive range of approximately 200 colors.
The glass elements can be tinted in a selection of hues. A limited edition features a particularly luxurious solid silver-plated version with smoky gray glass hexagons, which may darken over time.
The floor lamp utilizes the smaller glass elements and can be custom-made to different heights.
“I approach my objects like a writer; I create a narrative and refine my language of forms and materials just as a poet does with his sentences and chapters. I know when it is finished, when nothing more can be added, and nothing can be taken away. Until then, I will not rest.” Dessí once said in an interview with Der Standard RONDO.
This perfectionism has undoubtedly been realized here. The Basket is one of our modern bestsellers and is already part of the permanent collection at the Museum of Applied Arts (MAK) in Vienna.
