CRACKLE VASE

Provocative and ornamental, the Crackle Vase exists within a fine line between strength and fragility.

At first glance, ADesignStudio’s custom crackle glass finish appears as if it is already fractured and it is a wonder that it holds together at all. Embracing the tenuous nature of the material and finish the Crackle Vase is designed with curved base, as if defying gravity to maintain a delicate balance. Adding to the sense of intrigue, the collection is made at an impressive scale. The collection is available in four sizes, the largest pushes the absolute limitations of glass fabrication (available by request only).

As the vessel increases in scale, the glassblowing process becomes a feat of strength and the incredible skill of the hand that made it becomes more and more evident. The handblown process results in organic crackling in each artefact. No two pieces are the same.

The substantial artisanal qualities of the vase reject the rapid disposal of mass production, creating an enduring product with an intentionality toward sustainability. Considering an even broader lifecycle, the crackle vases are made from a single material which is both recycled and recyclable.

The Crackle Vases are available for sale online in two crackle glass colourways – a classic clear and milky white alabaster.

GREENWAY CRACKLE

For ADesignStudio, the Greenway Crackle is a natural extension of the Greenway and Eon collections. The resulting design draws on Greenway’s system of lighting components referencing Australia’s historic maritime architecture and infuses it with prolific lighting designer, Richard Kelly’s three principles for lighting.

Greenway Crackle’s glass components are handblown into five shapes like the “lantern room” of the Macquarie lighthouse, just as in the original Greenway Collection.  The system has been reappointed in ADesignStudio’s custom handblown crackle glass finish which was originally developed for the Eon Sans Collection.

In using the new finish, Greenway Crackle also becomes the embodiment of Richard Kelly’s three principles for ideal lighting conditions, just like the original Eon Collection. First, the metal piece which contains the light source as the “focal glow”. Second, the series of glazed nautical forms as a diffuser to create “ambient luminescence”. Third, the crackle finish adds a “play of brilliance”.

Through a process of evolution, the Greenway Crackle is a distinct new range of lighting.

The Greenway Crackle lighting system can be reconfigured into endless profiles. The collection is currently available in five configurations including the S1 which is a distinctively reduced aesthetic. The light source is a concealed warm LED with dimmable control options.
