Lantern
by Jan Plecháč & Henry Wielgus
WHEN GLASS
EMBODIES PAPER
The ancient shape of the lantern, transformed by BOMMA and
recast into glass, maintains its age-old symbolism of a messenger.
The essential shape of the crystal Chinese lantern is replicated
by hand-blowing into a wooden form. The resulting precise
craft, despite its minimalist appearance, accentuates our prime
devotion to traditional glassmaking principles in both top quality
and perfect details. In their basic clear version, these lighting
objects can be easily combined, forming random or even geometric
groups. In smoke or white colors, Lantern adds soft ambient light
to any interior.
