ILLUMINATING ELEGANCE & POISE

TRANSCENDING MERE FUNCTIONALITY, THE BALLET COLLECTION BY BRAND VAN EGMOND IS A SYMPHONY OF LIGHT, AGILITY AND POISE, PAYING HOMAGE TO THE EXQUISITE MOVEMENTS OF A BALLERINA.

Pulling triple duty as accent, centrepiece, and divider, the Ballet collection of handcrafted lighting fixtures mimics the grace, poise and elegance of a ballerina.

More like sculptural masterpieces than mere lighting fixtures, Brand van Egmond’s Ballet collection is a celebration of a ballerina’s skill, poise and elegance. A brainchild of William Brand, this collection evolved from a simple sketch to become a sculptural work of art, all thanks to the dedication of skilled artisans who painstakingly craft each piece by hand. In essence, the Ballet is not just a lighting fixture but also a work of art that breathes life into any living space.

One of the most striking aspects of this recently unveiled collection of the Dutch designer lighting brand, is that no two pieces are identical. Each piece bears the hallmarks of handcrafting, from the colour patina to the structure and hand-blown glass. These seemingly subtle imperfections bestow a unique charm on each sculptural piece, rendering them as unique as the ballerinas they draw inspiration from.

Each sculptural creation of the Brand van Egmond’s Ballet edition bears the hallmarks of sedulous craftsmanship, conferring each piece with a distinctive charm.

A fitting tribute to artistry and craftsmanship, the Ballet lighting series captures the grandeur and agility of a ballerina in its design. The extended arms and the smooth graceful curves are intended to offset the arch of the foot to emulate the poise of a dancer’s mid-air manoeuvring during a leap, where lightness and poetry converge.

The Ballet lighting sculpture mirrors the smooth and flowing arm movements of a ballerina skilfully performing an elegant porte de bras.

The juxtaposition of cast steel and blown glass along with the interplay with light creates an ambience that is both mesmerizing and ethereal. While the cast steel imparts strength and resilience, the blown glass adds a delicate touch of transparency and fragility.

All in all, the Ballet collection is an audacious statement that celebrates not just the art of dance but also the sedulous craftsmanship of artisans. With the Ballet, the Brand van Egmond brand name has truly elevated lighting to a form of art, each piece a unique story, each casting a spell of poise and grace in any space it graces.

Safely ensconced in blown glass, the luminous hand-sculpted pieces are truly a delight to look at, lending an exquisite accent to any home.

Showcasing the grandeur and agility of a dancer in mid-air, the spellbinding silhouette of the hovering Ballet is also an adroit interplay between cast steel and blown glass.
