Pillow Texture

I developed A custom pillow texture as a signature element for the line. The pillow texture element is carried throughout the line with chrome and translucent materials as a cohesive element that brings the collection together.

Premium Materials

The line is composed of high-end materials that embody luxury. The glass is vacuum metalized, so that it has a lovely weight in the hand. I included luxurious chrome and rose gold finishes mixed with high gloss paint. Premium glass was chosen to ensure the built-in pillow texture was highly reflective.

The Process

We created a style board that embodied luxury and used it as a springboard for concept development and innovation. Knowing that we wanted to develop a custom texture for the line, I explored multiple textures that would look good in glass and chrome.  As we settled in on final forms, we leveraged 3D printing to visualize our designs and dial in the perfect size for the proprietary pillow texture.

Texture & Scale

We 3D printed the designs to evaluate the final line's proportions. We wanted the product line to have a tall, slender, and elegant presence. I also applied the pillow texture across all forms to achieve a cohesive look for the line.

Manufacturing Samples

As we moved into the product, we worked with the Factory to finalize material finishes that embody the high-end luxury look we were trying to produce.
