THE DESIGN AND CREATION OF VAZ
VAZ
CRAFTED BY CRAIG COPELAND
I started modeling the first versions of VAZ inspired by figurative profiles that celebrate the efficiency of timeless vessels.
Each VAZ is a miniature lighthouse, in form and capability.
Playfully-shaped and fully adaptablem VAZ offers broad material options that are scalable to deliver wide-ranging illumination possibilities and robust security.

Enduring materials and textures for lighting
The porcelain options provide time-tested durability along with more vivid color possibilities. The glazed surfaces deepen the refracting tiles adorning centuries-old temples in Kyoto.
In stone, VAZ bollards are contemporary lakes on ancient Roman milestones that mark historic roadways in Europe and Asia, even after thousands of years.
The store and porcelain options provide suitable connections to nature’s great resilience and lasting beauty.
