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.
An expressive glass vessel that appears to stretch under its weight serves as a shade in this pendant. The glass element here is different from that of the Hold Sconce and Hold Pendant in that is round and not flattened, and it is also of a different size. The glass element hangs from a brass "pin" element, made of a continuous ribbon of the brass bar, which opens and closes to allow for removal of the glass.
An expressive glass vessel that appears to droop from its hook as if molten serves as a shade on this pendant. Available in two sizes. The glass shade hangs from a double-ended brass hook, custom fabricated to?the specified length. The hook hangs from a loop at the canopy.
The Drape Composition 1 is a multi-pendant fixture with 2 pendants suspended from a single canopy. Each pendant is suspended on a fabric-wrapped electrical cord.
Large domes of handblown Czech glass with a frosted finish are suspended on lengths of oversized brass chains. An exposed fabric-wrapped electrical cord runs through the chain from canopy to light.
The Dew Pendant features a solid sculpted glass shape composed of layers of glass applied while hot, giving it a dripping appearance. The glass is permanently affixed to the solid brass armature, hidden behind a minimal brass cylinder, which lifts to give access to the bulb. The fixture uplights slightly through the open top of the cylinder.
