• Sculpting with glass is often the choice of artist and designer Danny Lane. He can combine it with steel, timber, acid etching and numerous other techniques and materials, yet at its root Lane's life's work is glass. He teases it to its limits for artistic effect – extruding, moulding, dripping, colouring, striating, cracking and nibbling at its edges. The other partner in his arsenal is light, the way it flickers, beams, glitters and projects. In an interview with AD Editor Neil Spiller, he reveals his thoughts on his creative history, his beloved material and his influences. Danny Lane, Etruscan Chair, 2016 This design for a glass and steel chair was originally conceived in 1986, and has been through various modifications since then; 1990s glass became 25mm thick and the metal was refined, with Jimmy Choo high‐heeled shoe tips.
