A verre églomisé installation created to form a backdrop to the reception of London’s restaurant Spring, headed by Michelin-starred chef Skye Gyngell.
Spring is located in the 19th century drawing room of Somerset House, a Neoclassical mansion on the north bank of the Thames, London, the room has been refurbished to its former glory and was opened to the public for the first time in over 150 years.
Hints at the fleeting beauty of nature are present throughout Spring’s interior scheme and this formed the starting point for our design. Taking compositional influence from 18th Century Japanese screens, the five-panel piece includes layers of 22 carat gold leaf and silver leaf verre églomisé, Japanese washi papers and pigments.
The 6 metre wide piece was created with verre églomisé, Japanese washi papers and pigments.
