Tension captured in glass
The fleeting moment when molten glass becomes a solid yet infinitely delicate object – such is the inspiration for Under Pressure, a bold new collection of lights that captures this transformation and the exciting tension it creates.
That singular, magical instance when hot molten glass succumbs to pressure and begins to assume its final form, an embodiment of strength and fragility in one. The dynamic glass shapes appear still alive, evoking an image of organic deformation from external forces, an invisible pressure bending them to its will.
This striking visual effect is further accentuated with technical elements, such as a centre-line threaded rod that penetrates the delicate glass globe and brings a touch of geometric regularity and industrial elegance. Under Pressure Vertical Little delivers an impressive contrast, an alluring juxtaposition of the organic malleability of glass and uncompromising precision of metal.
BROKIS’s lead-time is 10 weeks, from ordering to leaving the factory. Each piece of handblown glass lighting passes through the hands of more than 30 highly skilled craftsmen, whose expertise and dedication ensure the highest standards of quality and authenticity.
Boris Klimek is an award-winning Slovak product and interior designer based in Prague. His work seeks to create conceptual overlaps, games, and stories, and the resulting products are functional but also poetic, playful, and capable of awakening the imagination and stirring emotion.
Slight differences in colouration are inherent to the production of handblown glass, yet they must remain within tolerance.
Install instructions for BROKIS lighting can be found in our download centre.
BROKIS lights are available with a variety of mounting options. Surface mounting works in all situations. This also applies to suspended lights up to a roof slope of 30°. For mounting flat, pure and recessed lighting, a suspended ceiling or cavity wall must be available for flush mounting.
For almost all BROKIS lights, a solution can be found with a sideways inlet if the electrical outlet is not in the right place.
The lights from the Under Pressure collection have a special integrated connector developed by BROKIS to facilitate installation and cleaning.
A standard length of cable is included in the price of Under Pressure Vertical Little; with an overall height of 99cm – 299cm.
An extra cable length up to 500cm is optional during the ordering process. Lengths over 500cm must be consulted and priced individually by BROKIS at EDC.
