Inspired by the experience of being immersed underwater, Dive In is a bespoke lighting installation where glass ‘bubbles’ run across the wall as if rising to the surface from the deep. Exploring the idea of visual distortion and what lies hidden underneath the waves, the glass bubbles encase clustered ceramic elements, reflecting the forms and textures of microscopic organisms and marine life. Individual lights are diffused through the glass bubbles and ceramic elements, revealing the intricate patterns and textures. The full composition is created using bubbles varying in size, from smaller solid and hollow glass pieces, to larger domes containing the ceramic elements; the overall effect is arresting, the subtle shifts in scale between the components echoing natural forms and motion, punctuated with light.
For this new Dive in installation Vezzini & Chen have created a new collection of ceramic component, inspired by a plant seeds collected during a recent trip to Taiwan.
