Czech lighting company Sans Souci, renowned for creating tailor-made decorative lighting fixtures, glass objects and architecture features for projects around the world, has launched a new statement light in India, Contour, which has been inspired by nature, with the leaf as the central motif.

The designers at Sans Souci are constantly inspired by nature, and this light is no different. It does veer into the world of fantasy, with the contours and colours of this make-believe universe. Designer Klara Mikesova has played with optical illusions as she defines the main component of Contour – the metallurgical glass leaf. The optical décor follows the veins of a real leaf. The gold leaf edges lend it an extra touch of beauty, so that while it looks as though the entire leaf is gilded, the fact is, it is only an optical illusion.

They come with subtle colour shades: Crystal and soda and golden edges; Opal shards and golden edges; Smoke shards and golden edges; Smoke shards and silver mica and silver edges; Amber shards and golden mica and golden edges; Rosalite shards and silver edges; Cobalt smoke shards and golden edges; Cobalt and golden edges.
