Over the years we have experimented with fractal structures, creating endless geometric constructions that sit somewhere between design research and pure experimentation. The Homune table for Lasvit was the first time we were able to translate that research into a functional object. By blowing glass into a single metal tool and cutting it at different lengths, we discovered we could generate logical and structural forms that assembled into something entirely new. The base of the Homune is composed of 36 separate hand blown glass fractals, six different forms repeating six times, each piece individually blown by Lasvit's Czech craftspeople and then connected into a single unified leg. The tabletop is hand blown from clear crystal. Lasvit's team developed a specific blowing technology from scratch to make the piece possible. The Homune was later included in our AL(L) Projects with Aluminium exhibition at Grand Hornu in Belgium, where it was shown alongside the broader body of work from that period.
