Dezeen Showroom: designers Jan Plecháč and Henry Wielgus have created the Hidden light for Lasvit, which is available as a pendant or table lamp.
Lasvit's Hidden light features a metal fixture partially obscured within an oversized crystal-clear blown glass "cage".
The piece is technically challenging to create, not least because of its size — Lasvit describes it as being so heavy that creating it "stretches the limits of human abilities".
To achieve the surface effect, it also necessitated the creation of a special metal mould that Lasvit says was arduous to make but lasts for almost an eternity.
According to Plecháč and Wielgus, the light is symbolic of how a person's "inner light cannot be contained".
"Sometimes, we might feel caged by society and its expectations, but when we concentrate on our inner energy, it can become a lantern that will open the door of this cage and set us free," said the designers.
