Located in the brand-new Keilhauer showroom in Toronto, Sylvia Lee of The Goodman Studio presents a captivating window installation for DesignTO that melds the soft glow of lanterns with the intricate charm of weaving and latticework. Inspired by traditional Asian lanterns, this installation reimagines light as both function and art, balancing warmth, simplicity, and refined craftsmanship.

Each hand-blown piece is crafted with unique, flowing shapes that depart from The Goodman Studio’s typical forms. These designs are embellished with sandblast patterns that replicate the interwoven and latticed qualities of woven textures, enhancing the installation’s tactile appeal and visual depth. The frosted texture of the sandblasted patterns contrasts beautifully with polished glass, allowing light to flow through and cast enchanting, woven-like shadows.

This installation is set beside another striking lighting work by The Goodman Studio, titled ‘Radia Linea,’ designed by Brad Turner. In ‘Radia Linea,’ light streams through a clear, polished glass rod held within a bold, anodized aluminum casing. Together, the two installations invite viewers to engage with distinct explorations of light, shadow, and material. While Sylvia Lee’s installation emphasizes woven textures and organic shapes, ‘Radia Linea’ captures a more architectural, radiant quality, creating a dynamic contrast that celebrates craftsmanship, innovation, and artistic synergy within a single setting.
