Despite of their resemblance to paper, these cloud lights by Jeremy Wintrebert are surprisingly made of large blown glass. These organically shaped and dreamlike illuminators are described as both solid and fragile and can be compared to natural plant forms and cloud formations.
“The extraordinary size of the works and their beautiful patterns surprise viewers, many who expect them to be made from paper, textile or plastic", says Gallery FUMI. Resembling organic forms, the light fixtures double as pieces of sculptural art when hung.
Jeremy Wintrebert was born in Paris, raised in Africa and is now based in the US. The designer looks to diverse cultures for inspiration when creating his works that are made through glass blowing, a craft he perfected by travelling the world.
