Light is emitted through one translucent white glass lamp, while the coloured pieces made from clear glass hang alongside to create a form of RGB colour mixing.

Here's a short description from Lasvit:


Jar RGB - Arik Levy

Jar RGB is a lighting project connecting thin colourful glass blowing techniques and the idea of RGB colour mixing. Using white glass for one of the hanging jars allows it to turn into a large light bulb generating the light for the entire fixture.

Observing one jar through another and the space surrounding them gives one a unique and everlasting discovery of colour superimposition.
