JamFactory’s Glass
and Metal Design Studios recently completed a commission for a client in
Adelaide, and we thought you might like to have a look at it.
This
was a truly collaborative effort. The client was keenly involved in the design
process, which was headed by Glass Studio Creative director, Karen
Cunningham. The glass shades were hand
blown and crafted by the Glass studio, and the powder coated stainless steel
and hand machined brass fittings were built by JamFactory’s Metal Design Studio.
Installation of the lighting fixture was completed by the JamFactory team in
May 2014.
The client had this to say:
In terms of how we came to
commission the Jam Factory, I felt that the Dining area needed a large scale
light fitting to create a focal point and bring the scale of the very high
ceilings down to create intimacy around the Dining table. I was concerned that
otherwise this area would feel too transitional, like a large corridor to the
Living area or the adjacent Kitchen. With the new extension using primarily
steel for the windows and very simple modern detailing elsewhere, the slightly
mottled effect from the glass shades, along with the metal of the branching
support structure complement the Architecture while giving movement and texture.
I couldn't find a light fitting that would produce the desired "hand
made" sculptural feel that I was looking for available commercially, so
commissioning a piece from the Jam Factory was the logical step. It was a
fantastic collaborative experience - we're thrilled with the end result, and
people are literally blown away when they walk in, it really does add a very
special feel to the space.
