a pretty glass pendant light, by deVOL

These frilly lights are the first glass lights we've ever made and we learnt so much along the way. Helen and our product designers, Matt and Dan, worked tirelessly with a local glass artist to make these beautiful pendants, from designing the delicate frilly pleats to creating the exact shade of cranberry, chartreuse or amber that Helen had imagined. It certainly has been a labour of love, but so worth it to be able to offer a truly special glass light.
Our cranberry glass shade is made from a combination of sand, soda and lime and combined with gold which provides the beautiful rich pink colour. It is a handmade process where the ingredients are mixed and then heated in a furnace for hours until the glass is in a molten state; at this stage, the molten glass is rolled into individual flat sheets by hand. The result is a very thin piece of glass that has a lot of interesting texture and it allows us to achieve an intricate pleated shape. A circle is cut by hand from the glass sheet and then the frilly shape is formed in a kiln as the glass softens and slumps down over a handmade steel mould. We're so excited by the way they have turned out and we can't wait to see them hanging above a table or giving an atmospheric light to a little corner.
