Coalesce Design and Fabrication
Coalesce helped form the aluminum and steel support structures in The Edison Orb and Edison Chandelier.

The Edison Orb  is homage to the incandescent light bulb, which will stop US production and import  in  2012.  

The Edison Orb 2012 is created from formed aluminum rings and customized, clear Incandescent bulbs.  The Orb form is derived from an existing vacuum form mold I had (that was used in The Pool project.)

Specs:
36” wide by 14” tall. 
Aluminum form
1000 clear incandecent glass bubls.
300 Watts

Experiments with the Edison Orb   inspired a new concept for an interactive art piece called The Orbs.
