Peacock Stage is a sustainable design studio inspired by the alchemical Cauda Pavonis (Peacock’s Tail). We explore the dynamic interplay of light and colour through innovative material research, creating sculptural glass pieces and ambient lighting that transform as light interacts with them. Our work draws from bio-inspired phenomena like nacre, blending craftsmanship with material innovation. Committed to sustainability, we use design to bridge art, nature, and technology, creating timeless objects that make both an artistic and ecological impact.
