Exhibition Details

It is a constellation of lights — a word more fitting here than 'lamps' or 'fixtures,' which feel too technical or mundane — that Ronan Bouroullec presents at Galerie kreo. Each piece consists of two elements in fine blown glass: a white opaline globe that diffuses the light, encased in a transparent corolla of grey or amber glass, which, depending on the angle, filters or reflects it.
These lights are most often connected to others of the same kind by rods of solid anodised aluminium, in black or grey. The drawing, the assembly details, the tension of the edges — all are executed with a precision reminiscent of watchmaking. Together, they form compositions of 3, 4, 9, 15 or 20 lights, arranged in vertical lines, circles, or grids.
