Gem Floor

Overview

Gem Floor is the floor lamp with diffused light that Ludovica and Roberto Palomba designed around blown glass. The glass produces a feeling of textured softness, and undulating, graphic waves run over its surface, so the lamp is unmistakable while switched off.

Construction

Hand-blown cased glass forms the high-relief diffuser, made without turning the glass in a mould that has diagonal and horizontal incisions. A rod and a support base with metal ballast complete the lamp, and brightness is adjusted gradually from a dimmer fitted on the transparent cable.

Textured softness in glass

Gem Floor has a surface finish that gives a sensation of material softness, and the waves on the glass make the lamp recognisable with the light off.

Surfaces blown by mouth

The artisanal technique of mouth-blowing glass inside a mould with incisions creates its three-dimensional surfaces, with lines that intersect. Three colours are offered for the base.
