Named after the atmospheric phenomenon of twilight, «Crépuscule» invites you to relax and helps you falling asleep.
Valentin Dubois produced «Crépuscule» in collaboration with Vincent Breed, a contemporary artist in Lyon specialising in the creation of blown glass artworks. «Crépuscule» consists in a hanging lamp, to be placed above the bed, made in blown glass water and metal. The pendant lamp acts as a screen on which light comes alive and reveals itself. As steam condenses, water drops onto the liquid surface below, alterating the quality of the light that bathes the space. This subtle and poetic animation accompanies the user as he falls asleep, in a state of meditation.
