Shell
Inspired by the conch shell, this piece captures the essence of life and nature. Fluid curves of the conch-form combine with the solidity of the lustrous beads to create a shape that entices observers, to come closer and delve into the mysteries it holds within. This mercurial symbol of purity can liven up any space – indoor as well as outdoor.
Slice
An EDIDA Winner, Slice is an interplay of circular lines and forms. It is composed of sliced cylinders and mirror finished rings. The circular lines & glass inside act as a diffuser by cutting all glare. This suspension is suitable for places like residences, hotels and corporate spaces.
Umbra
A mesmerizing play of light and shadow, this piece is a testimony to exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail. An intricately crafted mesh of curved lines forms the sphere which is the focal point of this piece. Watch your walls come alive in a whirlpool of dancing patterns. End result – an experience that is ethereal and sublime.
Aroma
The light installation becomes the centrepiece in the reception atrium (50 feet high) of a leading spice manufacturing company. Its design traces the journey of the process of cooking, ascribing to it a tangible, sculptural sense. The 35-feet-tall light installation is suspended from the ceiling, representing beauty in its truest form — mirror finished stainless steel balls, almost glass-like in feel, and floating ‘aroma rings’ of light keep enlarging as they spiral up and spread out.
Spices and herbs are depicted as vital determinants in the making of a culinary masterpiece, as they waft gracefully from ‘vessel’ below, pervading the air with flavour and fulfilment.
The light installation essentially, is redolent of everything that creates a tempting gastronomic experience, celebrating the role of spice-making as a work of art, while paying homage to those who are deeply involved in this undertaking. Designer Vibhor Sogani recognizes and honours the simple, yet painstaking nature of the culinary arts, prompting the ‘food artist’ to take a bow!
