Strong, cozy light: the ‘Yellow Structure’ fused glass wall lamp.

Why a strong light with fused glass?

During the long dark winter evenings, you need a light that is bright and pleasant. LED technology brings the strength, flexibility and cost effectiveness. You can have more than 3000 lumen, that is more than 3 old 100W incandescent light bulbs, running at 40W. One question remains: how to install such a powerful light source and get a cozy design? Light Nouveau has come up with a two pronged approach: Bring powerful, original art in front of the light source, and use a thin, dimmable and tunable light source. Our light source can have the intensity and color temperature controlled via a remote. From strong to dim, from warm white to cool white, you can have any light type behind your piece of original art. And the result is that Light Nouveau turns every interior into a memorable space.

The art

Jackson Pollock has mesmerized the art world with his apparently random brushes that were virtually impossible to imitate. What made his works unique? How can it be that sprinkling at random with a brush gives rise to a painting that is immediately recognizable as a Jackson Pollock? Recently artist physicist Richard Taylor has shown that the pattern in Jackson Pollock’s paintings has a property called self similarity. Simply put, the painting looks the same whether you look at all of it or just at a smaller part. Richard Taylor has shown how to build a “pollockizer”, that is, a system that uses the process to make a Pollock like painting. We have used the Taylor method with a “sand pendulum” with colored glass powder. The sand pendulum has been nudged and pushed and shaken to create Yellow Structure. As opposed to paint, the sand particles fall and slide once they touch the glass giving an extra dimension to our work.
