Concept
Traditional Venetian glassblowing meets innovative LED technology. The result: the Gople family of lights, fascinating for their high-tech functions as well as the beauty of the materials used in them.
Even switched off, the mouth-blown glass appears to its advantage. The lamp’s cylindrical, gently rounded glass body has an opaque white or metallised colour at the bottom, becoming learer and more translucent nearer the top. This smooth progression in transparency and colour occurs during glass blowing, making each light unique.
The surface treatments in silver, bronze, copper and blue are produced with an innovative and sustainable metal vacuum coating process that produces zero emissions and zero waste. The final transparent spray finish provides protection against scratches and contains just 5% solvents, compared with conventional systems that use 75% solvents.

Biography Bjarke Ingels, Architekt Bjarke Ingels started his own office in 2005, Bjarke Ingels Group, after having co-founded PLOT Architects in 2001 and collaborating with Rem Koolhaas at OMA. Through a series of award-winning design projects and buildings, Bjarke Ingels has created an international reputation as a member of a new generation of architects that combine shrewd analysis, playful experimentation, social responsibility and humour. In 2004 he was awarded the Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale for the Stavanger Concert House, and the following year he received the Forum AID Award for the VM Houses. His latest completed project the Mountain Dwellings has already received numerous awards and nominations in 2008, most recently at the World Architecture Festival. By practicing what Bjarke Ingels likes to describe as ’programmatic alchemy’, BIG often mixes conventional ingredients such as living, leisure, working, parking and shopping into new forms of symbiotic culture. Alongside his architectural practice, Bjarke has been active as a Visiting Professor at Rice University’s School of Architecture and most recently at Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design.

The project has just been awarded at the 2008 World Architecture Festival in Barcelona. Furthermore, Jakob has been a Project Leader at BIG for a wide range of projects such as two Ski Resort projects, SKI and LIL, both situated in Norway. In addition to his skills as a Design Architect, Jakob has led website designs for PLOT & BIG, which were nominated for a Cyber Lion at the 2004 Cannes Advertising Festival.
