These metal forms are new blow molds we’re building; they’re the beginning of our new lighting that will be formally introduced later this year. I’m really excited about this as a new line; I’ll give more specifics later, right now these are just a little eye-candy to whet the appetite.

I hope that these pendants will become a contemporary riff on the geometric forms that have preceded them starting with white glass Art Deco fixtures, brass-camed stars built from flat glass, and the crystalline geometric  molded forms from Venini during the 60’s and 70’s. These pieces will be available in clear as well as a couple of colors, and we plan for the hardware to feature a new design of LED light source that will debut with these fixtures – ultra-low wattage and no bulb changes, ever.

Stay tuned for more info. I’ll post more pics as we start to produce the prototypes.
