Iris
Art applied to design. Sunsets in printed vitrified glass
“The light on the coast is constantly changing. IRIS serves as a canvas for the infinite shades of colour and varied compositions that I capture in very specific moments depending on the weather at the exact moment that I take the photo; this is determined by the position of the sun, the condition of the sea and the coordinates.”

IRIS is the new collection of high tables and side tables designed by Alejandra Gandía-Blasco for GANDIABLASCO. The main idea behind the IRIS series is ‘art applied to design’: the colour study of the works created by the designer herself is transferred to the printed vitrified tempered glass table tops, which are suitable for outdoor use. The IRIS tables come in different heights and finishes, and their dimensions complement all of GANDIABLASCO’s outdoor furniture collections.
