About the Item

Unique and captivating, this mirror-like wall sconce is an elegant addition to any design project. Fitted to hold a candle or can be hardwired to fit a lightbulb, at an additional cost and lead time. The dome-like shape and luminescence of this mirror could be interpreted as a lens: an optical instrument that magnifies what so often goes unseen. By the same token, it is a reservoir for a burning candle, highlighting the design from within with its warm, coppery glow. It tells of a flame on a wick, gently melting the paraffin and rendering a candle ever smaller, until it eventually disappears. And then, that same flame, licking the inside of the crafted glass and drawing its signature of soot, while the gleam of the flame accentuates the copper structure of the piece, on which the traces of time visibly linger. In turn, the reflective capacity of the mirror is due to a thin silver coating applied to the back of the glass surface. When this coating is done in the traditional way, however, it is never flawless and little by little acquires small cracks and spots. Especially when the material is not prevented from doing so by additional interventions or procedures, and time is allowed to imprint itself on it. So that the reflection over the years incorporates transformations and fosters a pensive meditation on gradual finiteness. Artist Information: Nel Verbeke (Belgium, 1989) lives and works in Brussels, Belgium. With a background in visual art and specialization in design and design research, Nel Verbeke is primarily a concept-designer. Balancing between arts and design, her vocation will always be the emotional potential of shape and space. Fascinated by conceptual thinking, she shies away from the obvious focus. ‘The concept serves as an ‘archway’ over the whole.’ Throughout her artistic practice, Nel Verbeke searches and formulates new arrangements of our surroundings. Her works are alternative compositions of time, space, motion and acts that, on the one hand, question our relation to the ambivalence of our emotions and, on the other hand, suggest that the emotional states of mind could be habitable spaces, shelters for a deepened moment of introspection and contemplation. As a consequence of her motives and methods, Nel Verbeke chooses not to delineate her artistic practice too rigidly. She prefers to explore a peripheral area where the autonomy of the artistic creation always meets a suggestion of its possible use. Her language is poetic and oud of time and so questions our dominant ways of seeing, acting and living. Nel Verbeke studied Concept Design at the Design Academy in Eindhoven (NL), following an education in Fine Arts at Luca School of Arts in Ghent, Belgium.
