Crystal Bennes, ICON Magazine, March 1, 2014

 

In this article for ICON Magazine, Crystal Bennes has highlighted the installation titled 'Phare No. 1-9' by Simon Heijdens, commissioned by the luxury champagne brand Perrier-Jouët and displayed at Design Miami/ 2013. Heijdens was asked to consider the meaning of the Art Nouveau movement in the 21st century - his response was inspired by the patterns of the wind and consists in nine hand-blown glass vessels containing pink-water that are suspended from the ceiling. The installation is described by Bennes as the "combination of art and technology" together with the "desire to bring natural forms to a period of increased technological progress".
