DESIGNER DEBORAH WECSELMAN LEANS INTO THE TRANSPARENT QUALITY OF GERMANS ERMICS’ OMBRÉ GLASS CHAIR

WRITTEN BY CHRISTOPHER DAY

THE TASTEMAKER: Head of her own Miami studio, Deborah Wecselman believes a well-designed space is “the creation of a lifestyle that reflects people’s changing needs and way of life.” Under her direction, her team of architects and designers has spearheaded projects both in Miami and abroad.

THE OBJECT: Like all the pieces from Germans Ermics, the Ombré glass chair is
a three-dimensional sculpture that transcends visual perception. It’s made of
glass with various colorations and was inspired by Stanley Kubrick’s landmark film, 2001: A Space Odyssey.

IN HER WORDS: “I love the seamless transparency and color in Germans Ermics’ work,” says Wecselman. “He mixes modernity with classicism and that’s something I always strive for in my work.” wecselmandesign.com; germansermics.com
