The special processing of the glass, hand-crafted at the
Artemide glass factory, ensures that each lamp is a unique
piece. It represents a modern take on the traditional Venetian
technique called “balloton”. Through a dual processing
technique, small square-based pyramids are first impressed
into the hot glass. In a subsequent phase, the piece is given
its final shape. The hand-blown technique turns the volumes
into a three-dimensional texture that comes alive with the
interplay of light.
Each piece is unique, animated by reflections due to the
varying thicknesses of the glass and the texture that follows
the geometries of the diffusers, opening and closing the
mesh of the design.
