Maison et Objet 2016 Paris<\/a><\/em>:<\/strong> colourful sweets sold at Brazilian markets influenced these glass lights designed by Humberto and Fernando Campana<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0for Czech brand Lasvit.<\/p>\n

Lasvit is presenting the Candy Collection at Paris trade fair Maison et Objet<\/strong>, which opens today, after the products were first shown during Milan design week 2015.<\/p>\n

The range includes the Sphere chandelier, Ring chandelier and Lollipop table lamp.<\/p>\n

\"Lasvit<\/a><\/p>\n

All three are made using traditional glass-blowing techniques at Lasvit\u2019s production facility in Lindava, and are designed to evoke the look of sugary treats.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe found the inspiration for this collection in the colourful candies that you can buy in popular markets,\u201d said Humberto.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe brightness of the glass combined with the collection\u2019s palette of colours as well as the visual aspect of the colourful lines make you imagine the piece as a candy, as a lollipop.\u201d<\/p>\n

Streaks of colour are formed within the milky white translucent shades, which are shaped like cones with their tops chopped off.<\/p>\n

The forms of the chandeliers were developed from the brothers\u2019 Sushi furniture series for Edra, produced in 2002.<\/p>\n

\"Lasvit<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cFor the Candy Collection we wanted to explore the colourful universe of our Sushi series and to express it through a glass collection,\u201d said Fernando.<\/p>\n

The duo has previously created a collection of glass pieces with Italian brand Venini, which were exhibited inside a former coach house in the UK in 2010.<\/p>\n

\"Lasvit<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cOur fascination for this material dates back to our childhood,\u201d Fernando said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were completely seduced by the glass objects that we used to put against the light to investigate their shadows, colours, transparency, dimensions and to imagine worlds inside them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lasvit is also showing the Campanas\u2019 mushroom-like Fungo chandelier at\u00a0Maison&Objet<\/a>, which continues until 26 January 2016 at the Nord Villepinte exhibition centre.<\/p>\n
