Sky-Set is a layered, opalescent glass light that captures the ever-changing hues of the sky—from cool blues to sunset reds— reflecting Rayleigh scattering, the optical phenomenon responsible for the sky’s color. Its circular form recalls dendrochronology, echoing tree rings that trace the passage of time and environmental change. The shifting tones also evoke the atmospheric effects of wildfires, where particles in the air transform light into surreal shades of orange and red. The work reflects both the wonder of our atmosphere and the fragility of the ecosystems that sustain it, urging a reconnection with the natural world.

Sky-Set was on view at Expo 2025 Japan as part of the European Union-organized group exhibition Design Beyond Things.
