Glint literally means 'a small flash of light reflected by a shiny surface'. The Glint Light collection is exactly that; a reflection of light on two interlocking aluminium parts.
Because the graphically designed arms of the aluminium parts overlap and partly cover the light source, a splintered, poetic play of light is created. The light is diffused across the wall, floor and/or ceiling.
Our first meeting with Susanne and her Glint Light was in London, where we both exhibited at London Design Fair 2017. We immediately noticed her innovative design with a traditional feel. By turning on the Glint Light, the shape and material are mixed with the effects of light, creating a beautiful interaction with the environment.
The design of the Glint Light was almost finished and Susanne had already had a first prototype series produced. With the help of an LED light expert we developed the technical part of the lamp together.
All parts of the Glint Light are made in the Netherlands. The lamp consists of two interlocking aluminium parts that are lasered from a plate and bent into shape with a special press.
Then the parts are anodised to strengthen the material and give colour to the aluminium. This is done at a company that specializes in the treatment of exterior facades for architecture. They have a very nice quiet and pure color series that the lamp really deserves.
Next, the LED parts are attached to the lamp and the two aluminium parts are woven together.
