When Art Meets Light

Brush and Switch by Sans Souci bend light in unexpected ways

Light is more than illumination. At Sans Souci, installations transform spaces into experiences, each one telling its own story through glass, light and emotion. Two of the brand’s latest collections, Brush and Switch, perfectly capture how differently this vision can come to life.

Brush celebrates creativity in its purest form. Like a painter’s stroke across a canvas, its sculpted glass forms seem to freeze movement mid-air – fluid, expressive and alive. As light plays across the textured surfaces, they bring a sense of drama and energy reminiscent of fine art. Whether referencing the paintings in a gallery-like interior with colours or standing as a bold centrepiece, Brush infuses spaces with spontaneity and turns ceilings into living works of art.

By contrast, Switch is all about precision and modularity. Its mirrored elements can form anything from a subtle reflective feature to a sweeping installation spanning entire walls. Depending on the composition, the result can be minimal and serene or strikingly dynamic, especially when paired with dynamic lighting effects that shift and evolve before your eyes.

What sets Switch apart is Sans Souci’s signature nanocoating. This innovative finish not only gives it its distinctive mirrored look but also brings environmental benefits, reducing the need for additional chemical treatments. The result is a reflective, durable and eco-conscious surface that combines beauty with sustainability.

Together, Brush and Switch showcase Sans Souci’s belief that when shaped by light, art and design have no limits. From the organic fluidity of Brush to the architectural versatility of Switch, each installation transforms the way we see and experience space.

Sans Souci will present its latest creations at Dubai Design Week 2025.
