Synapse Small & Large

Inspired by the mechanics of neural synapses, this pendant is composed of two hand-molded glass domes that require a 4-part firing process.  A brass orb floats in transit between the two hemispheres.

Made by Apparatus Studio

COUNTRY: USA

APPARATUS is a New York based interdisciplinary design studio that explores the relationship of lighting, furniture and objects in their environments. Predicated on the modernist principle of gesamtkunstwerk, or total work of art, fully articulated collections reveal each piece as an artifact from a singular vision -each imprint referencing the historical and cultural mood summoned by a holistic emotional landscape.APPARATUS creates each piece with a devotion to the rigor of small studio craftsmanship, centering the importance of the human hand in lending soul to an object. Sensual materials such as marble, suede, horsehair, lacquer and porcelain are combined with patinated brass to create the studio’s distinctive catalog. Underpinning every piece, whether it be alight fixture or a chair, is a deft balance between mechanization and the hand-made, striving equally for the contradictions of perfection and the beautiful irregularity of humanity.APPARATUS galleries in New York, Los Angeles, and Milaneach communicate the studio’s singular design ethos while also providing a distinctive, immersive experience informed by its location. The studio was founded in 2012 by GabrielHendifar and JeremyAnderson. In 2021, the studio expanded its production to a dedicated factory in Brooklyn, where all pieces are hand-finished and assembled.
