William Sawaya Challenges Expectations of Lighting with Striking Innovative Branchy Design for Sans Souci
Sans Souci , leading designer and producer of glass and lighting installations, and respected designer William Sawaya, have revealed their extraordinary collaboration –BRANCHY. Being launched at the Milan Design Week 2023 this past April, the BRANCHY collection combines inspiration from the natural world with the latest technologies to defy our expectations of lighting.
The concept of BRANCHY challenges perceptions of what a chandelier can be, creating an artistic focal point for your space. Sleek crystal tubes are sandblasted and fitted together with metal bindings, with a range of transparent, golden, silver and rose gold shades available. Each component has a LED light source running through it, allowing your chandelier to produce a different ambience and mood depending on how you choose to light your interior.
“The challenge of introducing hidden technologies into the manufacture of an excellent crafted piece is one of my obsessions. With the BRANCHY collection, together with Sans Souci, we have tried to address this challenge and incorporate it discretely within the concept and the product. The available range of different aesthetics and hues allows everyone to personalise each installation to create the perfect ambience.”
William Sawaya
“We are honoured to collaborate William Sawaya, one of the most thoughtful and daring designers of our time, to create the BRANCHY collection. His piece combines flawless design with emerging technologies to create exciting installations that can be tailored to your space. BRANCHY fits with our design direction and allows us to showcase Sans Souci’s expertise in high-end production of glass and lighting installations, as well as our cutting-edge nanocoating capabilities.”
Martin Chab , Founder and CEO of Sans Souci
