Broad and squashed

Number 2 among the suspension lamps has a broad, squashed shape. Slim engravings mark its hand-blown glass, which looks pleasantly plaster-like.

Warm, soft light

It diffuses a warm and soft light into its surroundings. Cables of stainless steel and of transparent electrical wire hang it from a canopy with a galvanised metal bracket, and the glass is striped in a mould before belt grinding and acid immersion.
