Melanie Guernsey-Leppla and David Leppla
David and Melanie Leppla create sculptural lighting that imbues
any room with an intimate glow while creating a serene and
meditative focal point. The design details of their "Kyoto Lantern"
series are inspired by such varied elements as the binding
techniques used in bamboo fencing, the fibers of paper lanterns
or woven mats, lacquered boxes used for containing food or
precious items, textile designs, and nature.
The artists create each lamp body by layering glass of different
opacities in monochromatic patterns that allow a subtle
transmission of light. Each lantern and all its details are
individually handcrafted of freeblown glass, without the use of
molds.
