Filigrana Pendant Light: Globe

Designer Sebastian Wrong adds a super-size round shape to his lineup of mouth-blown, Venetian-glass pendants with the colorful striping he calls “literally eye candy.” Named for the 16th-century glassblowing technique which sees a daub of color transformed into a pattern resembling a sugary sweet, Filigrana’s handmade artisanal creation assures that each fixture is completely unique. Developing the oversize sphere was a test of the Italian craftsmen who partner with maker Established & Sons but in the end, as Sebastian relates, everyone involved was gobsmacked and uttered the same response: “Wow, what a piece!”
