Xu Wei

Xu Wei is a lighting design for an art museum in Shaoxing, a Chinese city with a history of 2,500 years. The museum stands within an old residential quarter, so the lighting is kept low-key and calm. L-shaped light troughs and linear wall washing fixtures are hidden on the facades to brighten the walls evenly.

Cage is a lighting series made of hand-blown glass units held inside metal cages. The glass forms are produced with hot glass blowing, while the metal cages are formed with a traditional mesh system. One of the cages is a pinter, a woven trap made for fishing by Mediterranean fishermen. The amorphous blown shapes refract light at different rates, creating a crystalline effect and casting patterned shadows on surrounding surfaces. The series includes suspended and floor-standing versions in different sizes. The intent is to connect light, glass and the idea of freedom.
