Let there be LIGHT

jeff — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 02:53:00 +0000

Yeah, it’s finally happening. Everyone says, “you could make a lamp out of that!” Well, no, I theoretically could, but i don’t. I can make glass for lighting, though, and that’s what we’re finally getting around to doing.

In collaboration with 100Watt Network, I have designed some new glass pieces which will be the foundation for a new line of lighting, called Bodega. These pendants are all handblown into molds that we built in-house (see a brief video here). The geometric forms are a blend of art deco light fixtures, crossed with mod glass of the 1960s and ’70s. I’ve tried to update the ideas using the magic of CAD to develop the forms, more contemporary colors, and really excellent hardware.

100 Watt is putting the final touches on the lighting components to go with this glass. At present we’re expecting to be able to offer the lamps with either traditional incandescent, medium-base sockets or the new, super-swank LED emitters which will draw only a couple watts and will NEVER NEED A BULB CHANGE.

Please direct inquiries to 100 watt network – they will be handling all retail and wholesale lighting orders.

Sideways

clear prototype vase

One of the “new” things I’m working on is actually a design I’ve brought back from a long time ago; a simple bubble of glass that lies on its side, with a finely polished opening that allows a flower to extend from it at an angle.

I made a few of these sweet little things as gifts and even sold a couple of them, but it was before I had really begun to consider starting a line of products so they went by the wayside – until I remembered them just recently. Here is a studio shot of one of the clear pieces, I will probably also make this vase in a transparent graphite blue and either an amber or olive green. I look forward to hearing what you think of it.

NYIGF Hiatus

Jeff Benroth Glass will not be exhibiting at NYIGF this January; I had planned to take the winter show off so we can re-evaluate our products and how we present them (more on that below). I will miss seeing many of you at the show and I look forward to getting back to Javits in August 2009 if all goes according to schedule. We would still like to take orders for spring and summer 2009 of course, so if you’re a wholesale buyer please feel free to give a call!

A huge thanks to Comerford/Hennessy for submitting our yellow Stripe Vases to Hamptons Cottages & Gardens in tome for the high season. I’m thoroughly pleased with the placement – and the magazine overall, which is a full-color, large format, perfect-bound freebie!

They were featured in the June 2008 issue. Thanks again, Karen!
