Buds 1 Suspension

Overview

Buds 1 Suspension (Rodolfo Dordoni, 2016) shows the sophisticated richness of blown glass in a long shade. It belongs to a collection of lamps built around different shapes and colours.

Construction

The hand-blown glass is cased, glossy, with white inside and colour outside. Warm white takes on an ivory hue when lit because of the straw-yellow inner glass, and is white when off. A clear polycarbonate support, injection moulded, carries the shade; a stainless steel suspension wire and a clear cord lead to a glossy white ABS canopy.

Long form in glass

Buds 1 Suspension stands out for its elongated shape, blown in glass and cased in white inside and colour outside, with a glossy surface. A clear polycarbonate support carries it from a stainless steel wire.

Ivory or white

A straw-yellow interior inside white and coloured glass makes the warm white version glow ivory when lit. Off, it stays white.
