ICEBERG: A Unique Lighting Design by SEBNEM BUHARA

Combining Artistic Vision and Illumination

The production process of Iceberg is a testament to the dedication and skill of the designer. Crystal glass fragments are melted and carefully layered in specially prepared molds, a process that takes 27 days. The glass is then steamed and agglutinated with a bronze body, resulting in a stunning and intricate design. Each handmade glass part is unique, ensuring that every Iceberg design is one-of-a-kind, just like the natural formations it represents.

Glass has long been a favored material in lighting design due to its ability to transmit, reflect, and refract light. However, Iceberg takes this a step further with its combination of melted glass and bronze holdings. The mat finishing of the glass adds a touch of elegance, while the bronze provides stability and structure. Careful attention is paid to the installation process, with hidden holes ensuring a seamless appearance from the front.

Iceberg measures 21 cm in width and 43 cm in height, making it easily transportable and adaptable to various spaces. Its design not only represents the beauty of nature but also serves as a symbol of support for hand craftsmanship. The project, which began in January 2015 and concluded in February 2015 in Istanbul, showcases the designer's dedication to creating timeless and meaningful designs.

SEBNEM BUHARA's Iceberg design has received recognition in the design community, being awarded the Iron A' Design Award in 2017. This prestigious award is given to designs that demonstrate innovation, practicality, and adherence to professional and industrial standards. Iceberg's unique blend of artistry and functionality has made it a standout in the field of lighting design.

Iceberg is not just a lighting fixture; it is a work of art that brings warmth, beauty, and a touch of nature into any space. SEBNEM BUHARA's dedication to craftsmanship and artistic expression shines through in this unique and captivating design.
