The Art Of Glassmaking

Glass and lighting design have been inextricably linked since the birth of the first light bulb. With its intricate filaments encased in thin, transparent glass, the rudimentary light bulb— the nucleus of modern electrical lighting— may be something we take for granted today but when it was first invented by Thomas Edison in 1879, it was an enigmatic wonder that opened the door to myriad possibilities for makers of lighting products. Simple and beautiful, glass is a material that perhaps best captures the spirit of the Industrial Revolution and the Age of Enlightenment, when science and intellectual enquiry triumphed over the Dark Ages’ medieval modes of thinking, transforming the world into a better and brighter place.

Today, new technologies and processes allow glass to be altered into an even wider variety of colours, textures, shapes and densities. When it comes to working with glass, designers have great freedom in experimenting with the material, resulting in a plethora of stunning lamps. Here are some that we love.
