Design creates distinctive kinetic displays and
art
works that beautifully complement home and business
interiors, nightclubs, museums and theatrical settings.
Our media are glass, light and energy.
Wayne
Strattman unites artistry and technology in his
Boston
studio to create designs that find appreciative audiences
from Hollywood to Vienna, Rio de Janeiro to Las
Vegas,
and just about everywhere in between.
From
the bottled-lightning fascination of plasma globes...to
our unique and exciting flagship product, Luminglas™,
works by Strattman Design do more than simply draw
attention
or stimulate conversation...they generate excitement.
An
engineer and a physicist by training, Wayne also
applies
his considerable skills to developing innovative practical
applications for the technologies developed in his
art,
as both an independent developer and as a consultant
to other developers.

Strattman
Design is proud to create and produce fine art works for home, office, and
fine art environments. Distinctive Electronic Kinetic Displays, Neon &
Light Sculptures, and a variety of electronic glass art will dazzle the
beholder.
CRACKLE
TUBES - By combining the shapes of blown glass with different gases and
electronic circuits, an endless variety of tube effects are possible. Filled
with a material that gives them bright, sharp colors, Crackle Tubes tubes
can be used even under full ambient lighting. They consume very little power,
have a long life and can be made with one or more colors in the same tube.
Crackle tube photographs can show some colored ionized areas which the human
eye may not always see because the color is only emitted at the end of the
brief period that ionization occurs, which the camera happens to capture
in some images.
LIGHTNING
TUBES - By
combining the shapes of blown glass with different gases and electronic
circuits, an endless variety of tube effects are possible. Lightning
tubes can be made to produce intense, fast moving, white lightning, or a
slow, undulating display that wraps and unwraps around the inside of the
tube.
Luminglas
is an interactive, kinetic lighting display that combines the long life
and vibrant colors used in neon with the animation and interactivity of
a plasma globe—all sealed into a customizable plate glass display.
Luminglas
can be made in virtually any shape. Colors include: blue, red, green, magenta,
white, or a mixture of any of these. Sizes range up to 24” by 24”
square, and 42” round (larger displays are possible but typically are
made up of pieces tiled together). The display is powered by a low-voltage
power supply that runs off of a UL-listed 12V wall transformer. The speed
of motion of the display is fully adjustable and can be sound-interactive
via a built-in microphone. Luminglas has found applications in stores,
museums, trade shows, nightclubs, commercial and home interiors, and theatre
and movie sets. Shown at the left is an example of Luminglas placed as a
bar-top surface. It is completely safe to touch, and sealed to resist water
spills. Please inquire to see what the possibilities of affordable Luminglas
are for your custom eye-catching application. (Luminglas is covered under
US Patent No. 5,383,295.)
The
PLASMA GLOBE’s moving, multicolored fingers of light have been
used by science museums for electricity demonstrations, to add visual interest
for trade show booths and amusement parks, and to provide many other applications
where interactive “lightning” attracts the eye and stimulates
the imagination. Processed
to the highest standards in the industry, these globes are made to provide
years of mesmerizing performance.
