Glass lamps: more varied than ever

Glass is the perfect material for interacting with light. Often mouth-blown according to traditional craftsmanship, it offers designers many creative possibilities in terms of color, structure, shape, and transparency. It fits into our living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchens. This timeless material is easily cleaned with a duster or a damp cloth—provided the power is off, of course—and it does not absorb moisture: a light fixture that is both practical and stylish!

Glass pendant lights

Glass pendant lights add a unique touch to any interior. Suspended above the dining table, coffee table, or kitchen counter, they catch the eye. Single-lamp models, whether transparent or colored, smooth or ribbed, are very popular, as are multi-bulb lamps in geometric shapes, ranging from spheres to cylinders, as well as natural forms.

Glass ceiling lights

From smoked glass with metallic reflections to frosted and opal glass, glass ceiling lights enrich every room with their presence. When turned on, the glass diffuses light without glare and, depending on the fixture, radiates shimmering reflections. Single or multi-lamp fixtures with a glass design are also highly popular for general lighting.

Glass table lamps

Table lamps demonstrate all the possibilities of combining materials with glass. Lamps with a glass base and a textile shade are available, as well as table lamps with a brass structure and a glass shade. From the lampshade to the mouth-blown glass base, the table lamp ensures an elegant design and lighting. Colored glass promises beautiful light effects.

Glass floor lamps

Like all other glass lighting fixtures, glass floor lamps adapt to various styles. Depending on the model, they can shine with an art deco style, create a warm ambiance in a Scandinavian style, or add a vintage, retro touch with tinted shades. Designer glass floor lamps fit well into minimalist environments and impress with their light effect, especially thanks to LED technology.

Glass wall lamps

Glass wall lamps show that they harmonize with diverse styles. They unfold their light effect just as well in contrast with saturated color surfaces as they do near paintings and prints. Glass shades are elegant when paired with brass or marble. Combined with wood or cork, glass wall lamps bring a touch of nature into our interiors.

The ideal light bulb for a glass fixture

The more transparent the glass, the more visible the light source. This is why the filament bulb is the ideal partner for a glass fixture. The integrated LED technology mimics the filament of the incandescent bulb, once unbeatable. Its imitation in a warm light color gives the interior a vintage ambiance and showcases the glass design, from colored to smoked glass.
