Recognized with a 2018 German Design Award<\/a> for innovation, the Guise<\/strong><\/a> collection was created by Stefan Diez<\/a>. Crafted of precision-cut, engraved crystal tubes and imbedded with LEDs, Guise<\/strong><\/a> explores the relationship between light and transparency.<\/p>\n

Inspired by illuminated wall signs and digital screens backlit by a small light source\u2014a technique that had never been applied to lamps\u2014Diez<\/a> spent a year developing his collection for Vibia. He was intrigued by the idea of obscuring the light source within the fixture and painstakingly created a precise slit to contain the LEDs, which are recessed in a slim row like an imperceptible interior seam.<\/p>\n

After testing different materials for their ability to reflect LED light, he settled on glass as the most suitable. To enhance the quality of the light, Diez<\/a> collaborated with a company in the Czech Republic that specializes in cut glass. Together they produced hand-blown tubes etched with delicate patterns. The glass conducts the light to the engraved surface of the cylinder where it finally appears, the markings beautifully diffusing the light in a soft, ambient glow.<\/p>\n

The collection is available in vertical and horizontal versions that can be displayed alone or in a group for greater impact. The wall sconce features a different form altogether\u2014a glass ring that generates a circular glow, recalling a solar eclipse when illuminated. When switched off, Guise<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s transparent glass and hidden LEDs essentially disappear, hence the collection\u2019s name.<\/p>\n

Guise<\/strong><\/a> is fitted with a special sensor that dims by simply bringing one\u2019s hand close to the light, without direct contact. It is offered in a matte graphite lacquer finish.<\/p>\n
