Entry Description

The 14 series is a family of low-voltage pendant lighting products designed to be clustered in groups. Visually quite subtle, each individual pendant is an articulated, seamed cast glass sphere with a frosted cylindrical void which houses a 10Watt halogen bulb. When lit, the glow of the lights gives the effect of tiny candles floating in a sphere of water. The light interacts with the imperfections and bubbles of the cast glass to make a visually rich halo of light. Cast glass is an organic process, imperfect by nature, so each piece produced is distinctive.
