Gubi the seine collection by space copenhagen introduces an exciting new material expression – patterned mouth-blown glass – to the gubi lighting portfolio. inspired by the behavior of light in moving water, space copenhagen has reinterpreted the form in a contemporary context, creating a collection of three lamps that weaves vintage references into a distinctly modernist and understated design, evoking the shimmer and motion of a gently flowing river. for space copenhagen, this project presented an opportunity to explore the nature of both glass and light – and the ways in which they interact. translating images of water into three-dimensional form, the studio aims to emphasize the liquidity and ambiguity of glass – a unique material with a life all its own, infused with an almost ethereal air of mystery. with seine, space copenhagen has embodied the delicate balance between function and atmosphere. the lamps illuminate spaces effectively, while also drawing on the power of glass to soften, layer and blur light, thus creating a dreamy and reflective ambience. the seine collection comprises a dimmable table lamp, ceiling lamp and pendant, each one comprising a glass dome affixed by four metal arms to a base hand-finished in antique brass – a signature of space copenhagen’s designs for gubi. the light bulb is housed in a spherical frosted-glass diffuser that consolidates the lamp’s light, creating a soft, textured glow that is further enriched as it plays with the pattern on the surface of the outer shade. formed in a geometric yet playful clover-like shape, the shades are made by blowing the glass into a mold, which shapes the glass into its distinctive grooved pattern as it sets. as well as in fluencing the
Gubi the seine shades are available in smoke and coral variants, which influences the behavior of the lamp’s light. the former exposes the inner structure of the lamp; the latter, sandblasted on the inside, has a blurrier, clouded expression. both create a poetic, textured and layered light. the unique texture of the shade has been created digitally to achieve the cascade effect that space copenhagen envisaged. this digitally sculpted surface pattern creates a sense of fluidity in the glass, evoking the motion and flow of a fountain or waterfall, while the 5mm thickness of the glass means the shade has a feeling of heaviness and quality, emphasizing its robust profile. the same shade is shared between the table and ceiling lamp variants, whereas the pendant’s is cut slightly shorter to optimize the field of light. a dimmer is fitted to the cord of the table lamp, allowing the user to set the lighting level to suit the task at hand or the atmosphere they wish to create. the kinship between space copenhagen and gubi is defined by a shared philosophy that combines elegant simplicity with a cosmopolitan international outlook. prioritizing functionality and personality in design while focusing on a few effective details has resulted in a self-assured design universe that emphasizes a sense of spaciousness and identity paired with a nuanced understanding of materials and craftsmanship – beautifully epitomized in seine.
