We design and manufacture handblown glass lighting and objects from our studios in Healdsburg, Northern California and the Czech Republic. Every SkLO product is made with a deep appreciation for the richness of its organic material and the historical craft tradition it embodies.
SkLO designs demonstrate careful attention to detail, and a commitment to achieving the simplest expression of beauty. This belief in simplicity and design discipline is always balanced by a deep respect for the raw material, and closeness to the maker. There’s an inherent primal brutality and unexpectedness in glassblowing, and in Czech glass in particular. Masters of the craft make manipulation of molten glass appear effortless, as they employ generations of skillful technique. Our designs celebrate this process in their subtle irregularities, making each one a unique reflection of its long history.
You can’t tell glass what to do. The unique ability to capture moments in time within glass is what makes the material special.
Rest Pendants are conical shapes of honed carrara marble that support frosted handblown glass shades. Each is topped with a custom brass finial and suspended on a rigid brass stem. The glass shades have an angular geometry that bevels inward at the bottom. The three unique shapes have different proportions and angles, yet all share the same language, making them natural partners when used in groups within the same space. These are timeless and elegant fixtures. The pairing of metal, marble and handblown glass gives them a classic presence.
Reflect Pendants are a series of mirror-plated glass pendants in different geometric shapes suspended on rigid brass stems. The glass is mirrored using a unique process that produces an opaque mirror appearance when the light is off but allows light to pass through when on. Each shape has an open mouth at the bottom, the hole ground, and polished. The glass sits on a rest at the end of the stem and lifts to expose the socket for changing the bulb. Available in three different shapes. Glass available in silver mirror finish only.
Lit spheres of glass are nestled into a curving recess in a larger frosted pillow of glass. Each of the two shapes is available in three colors, allowing for a multitude of possible combinations. The soft organic geometry of the Pillow Pendants lends an approachable whimsy; the relationship between the smooth, smaller glass shape inside the concave, frosted outer glass adds an intriguing complexity. Available in two sizes. Suspended on a brass tube stem.

The Peak Sconce/Ceiling light is a small conical form which fits against the wall or ceiling supporting a lit handblown glass diffuser. The glass diffusers are available in two shapes and in both "dipped" glass, featuring the SkLO double-dipped flame-polished mouth and "textured" glass, featuring a soft, frosted finish and subtle sculpted vertical ridges.
Rings of lit spheres of handblown glass nestled below a conical form and suspended by a single stem, the forms of the Peak Chandeliers are both playful and elegant. The ceiling canopy is an identical smaller conical shape, mirroring the form of the chandelier. Elevating simple geometric forms, the proportions are everything in the Peak Chandelier, and every detail has been carefully considered. The glass diffusers are available in both "dipped" glass, featuring the SkLO double-dipped flame-polished mouth and "textured" glass, featuring a soft, frosted finish and subtle sculpted vertical ridges.
