Inspired by Japanese calligraphy and created from hand blown Murano glass, the floating, illuminating pendants will have an adaptable design that can expand to create full ceiling and room installations as either clusters or as a single element. From overhead, it captures attention as it inspires the imagination. Marrying an element of ancient Asian culture with free moving parts has resulted in a product that embodies both classic and contemporary design. CALLIOPE by Marcel Wanders

There is a moment when the sun hits the surface of a lagoon and creates a lens resemblance. This effect captures a “spark” and turns it into a source of light. Fluid captures this moment of ephemeral beauty: a ripple of light, a droplet hitting the surface of calm water.

Fluid Edition

Rise and Drift focuses on the organic shapes of water bubbles and the refraction of light. Supported by WonderLab, the laboratory of innovation and technology at WonderGlass, Yoshimoto challenged the complex way light transmits and reflects inside different materials, resulting in a mesmerising visual effect. Yoshimoto’s work seeks to capture a dynamic moment in time and is reminiscent of air rising through the water, suggesting the possibilities of life below; a presence that we cannot see but are inspired to imagine. RISE AND DRIFT by Hideki Yoshimoto

Calimero sets a style of expression, an homage, a delicate and valuable coexistence. A series of suspensions where the material touches and hugs, but never goes out. Almost like lovers, a crossover between copper and a hand blown glass. Calimero looks towards the future and seduces with the reminiscence of a machinery - a tribute to industrial lamps as well as luminous spheres from the past.

The reflections of the Venetian cityscape glistening the evening water hints at an imaginary city below the moving surface. There is a border between the world under and the land above. In the city of Venice, where the real world and fantasy coexists, this chandelier is the embodiment of the beauty of dual worlds. Flow[T] is a contemporary chandelier inspired by the colours of the Venetian lagoon and customized to the desires of each owner. Each piece enjoys its own shape, and in multiples, they create a sculptural display of lighting.

Night Flow[T], Limited Edition

Like a bunch of grapes on a vine, nature creates beauty through variation within repetition. The bunch consists of a number of the same shaped grapes. But each grape varies slightly in size to the next. We are attracted by the subtle variation in the silhouette. While developing our concept, we found that utilising just two forms is enough to keep this subtle variation. The two forms, have similar shapes and are made of translucent glass, allowing the LED light source to glow from within. G R A PPA by Claesson Koivisto Rune

In the context of architecture and glass sculpturing Hollow makes light its object. This design captures light like never before and shapes it as a basic element. The design interprets a dialogue between natural elements, traditional design and technology — it takes centre stage accentuating the space it occupies and bringing matter to the forefront.

Luma is a sculptural composition of tubular segments which subtly diffuse light through organic shapes which effortlessly celebrate the unrivalled logic and beauty found in nature. Each individual segment to the piece has been hand-blown in Murano. First seen in 2014, the 2017 edition follows an ongoing liaison with Zaha Hadid ’s team to create technical superiority as well as a more refined shape which in turn, throws a softer glow. Luma is available to specify for both commercial and domestic markets – the modular essence of this creation enables to expand clusters and populate larger...

Subdued yet playful. A collection of characters inspired by the masquerade ball, the chandelier from Jaime Hayon nods to Venetian heritage, the epicentre of glass artistry. The colour palette is understated, setting up a contrast to the lively menagerie, while subtle variations create visual interest and depth. MASQUERADE by Jaime Hayon

There is a moment when a clinging bead of water, in quiet orb-like suspension, becomes a droplet. The droplet reflects its surroundings while gathering light within. There is a moment when molten glass transforms from liquid to solid. This instant of transition is accompanied by an emission of beautiful light. Momento freezes that moment of ephemeral beauty and turns it into a source of light. The elliptical shadow, folding over itself, captures the glassmaker’s spinning technique. It is a gentle ripple of light just like when a droplet hits the surface of still water.

Momento Edition

Pawson’s design sets one hand-made glass cylinder within another, the outer cylinder flaring into a refined disc lip at its lower edge. The lamp casts light downwards, but its clear body also glows along its entire length. SLEEVE by John Pawson
