“Close Up light “grows” from my inspiration towards seeds and light.
I collect seed… everywhere I go I search for one and I connect to it my emotion and memories from that specific space and time. Seeds are the trigger of my memories.” Says Cristina.

Close Up is a “glass container of Bone china seeds”.
The bone china pieces, inside the glass form, are slip casted and hand carved individually.
The glass Pieces are free blown by Sheng Tsang Chen so that each one is unique and bespoke.
On the glass, bubble-lens are created to distort and magnify the view of the Bone china inside. The Bone China appears distorted and magnify as looking inside a microscope. The connection between the material Bone China and the ‘immaterial’, light allows me to create a connection between the visible and invisible natural world.

Close up is available as pendant as table light.

Material: Bone China, Glass, Brushed stainless steel base and LED light bulb
