danny lane

"Like glass itself, Lane’s work is sometimes modernist in its simplicity, and, in a different mood, baroque in its pleasure in ornament." - dannylane.co.uk

I love the way danny plays with form and curves in his sculptures, products and interiors.
he demonstrates how you can get so many different effects and personality out of a single material. 

      

Etruscan Chair (1986) 

its said he brought the pionrerred  broken glass as stylish in the 80s when that era's design was slick so that conset was very fresh, i think thats what i like about his work its different because he keeps testing the materials he is using and questioning the process n has mastered them.

 Lane’s sculptures exploit the strength of glass under compression and combine feats of design and engineering to produce work, breathtaking in its apparent simplicity. -dannylane.co.uk
