Haven Studios: Interesting Displays

The recent completion of a massive bookshelf gave me the opportunity to look into all kinds of display options. I thought it’s time to write a blog about some of my favorite display items. The following pictures show only a small selection of products out there. The ones I picked for this post are the kinds which I like to use in some combination or another. Glass displays such as the boxes and cloches are beautiful because they are light in their appearance and the display can be changed at any time. They also function very well as bookends. I love antiques, so you will see a lot of those below. I am especially in love with the art deco sculpture. One item that was a recent find and I had never seen before is the SOMA light sculpture by Ayala Serfaty, which is just one of the many light sculptures included in the SOMA collections of the Metropolitan Museum and the Museum of Arts and Design in New York. Each light sculpture from the collection is hand-made out of thin glass rods that are blown in Italy and completed in Ayala Serfaty’s workshop in Tel Aviv to form an ethereal structure. After the form of the sculpture is finished, the piece is sprayed with a unique clear polymer to generate a skin-like membrane. These are truly unique pieces of art.

I’d like to thank you very much for visiting HAVEN STUDIOS’ blog.
