Wenge, sand blasted glass, acid etch water white glass, florescent and halogen sources.

This object was designed for a beautiful Richard Mier designed residence. The idea was to provide two options of light. The first is a warm florescent light which projects only from the three small vertical slots on each edge of the case. This light provides a soft ambient illumination. The second source is a halogen pin spot mounted at the top of the unit. This light projects upwards through three plates of acid etched water white glass. The glass glows through their edges giving highlights to their shapes. This also protects ones eyes from direct viewing of the halogen light. The light then washes the wall and reflects downwards from the ceiling providing a greater amount of light into the room. This object has its reference to Mr. Chareau, which I felt was appropriate for Mr. Mier.
