Nous concevons et fabriquons des luminaires et des objets en verre soufflé à la main dans nos studios de Healdsburg, dans le nord de la Californie et en République tchèque. Chaque produit SkLO est fabriqué avec une profonde appréciation de la richesse de sa matière organique et de la tradition artisanale historique qu'il incarne.
Les créations SkLO témoignent d'une attention particulière aux détails et d'un engagement à atteindre l'expression la plus simple de la beauté. Cette croyance en la simplicité et la discipline du design est toujours équilibrée par un profond respect de la matière première et une proximité avec le créateur. Il existe une brutalité et un caractère inattendu inhérents au soufflage du verre, et au verre tchèque en particulier. Les maîtres de l'artisanat font que la manipulation du verre en fusion semble facile, car ils utilisent des générations de techniques habiles. Nos créations célèbrent ce processus dans leurs irrégularités subtiles, faisant de chacune d'elles un reflet unique de sa longue histoire.
You can’t tell glass what to do. The unique ability to capture moments in time within glass is what makes the material special.
The signature glass elements of the Fold collection are cylinders of handblown Czech glass with a gentle, intentional “fold”. Approximately 2"/50mm in diameter, the cylinders are sculpted by hand, each slightly different. For the Fold Round Chandeliers, lit glass Folds in three sizes/lengths are suspended on fabric-wrapped electrical cords from the circumference of a circular canopy. Available in three different sizes. Cord lengths are field adjustable.
The signature glass elements of the Fold collection are cylinders of handblown Czech glass with a gentle, intentional “fold”. Approximately 2"/50mm in diameter, the cylinders are sculpted by hand, each slightly different. For the Fold Linear Chandeliers, three sizes/lengths of individual Fold are suspended in rows on a fabric-wrapped electrical cord from rectangular canopies. Available in three different sizes. Cord lengths are field adjustable.
Cylinders of handblown Czech glass with a gentle, intentional “fold”. Approximately 2"/50mm in diameter, the cylinders are sculpted by hand, each slightly different. Available in three different lengths of Fold glass: 12”/305mm, 18”/460mm, and 24”/610mm. Suspended on a fabric-wrapped electrical cord from a simple brass canopy. Cord lengths are field adjustable.
Large spheres of handblown Czech glass with a custom brass socket assembly through one side. Each glass sphere is blown by hand without the use of moulds, and so is slightly imperfect in shape. Available in two sizes. Each is broken hot from the blower's pipe and the mouth then fire-polished to create an uncontrollable detail unique to each piece. Two brass thumb screws attach the removable bulb-and-socket from the side of the glass.
A minimal, sculptural suspended light composed of a larger, 7"/180mm diffuser of handblown Czech glass on a short horizontal stem opposite a smaller, 4.5"/110mm diffuser on a longer, downward arching stem. 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.
The Drape Skirt 18 Chandelier consists of 18 individual pendants gathered into 6 groups of 3 and supported by a series of 6 brass “skirt” structures arranged around the circumference of a brass ring. The brass “skirts” attach to the ring by a series of simple slotted connections, allowing the “skirts” to hold the ring with the slight friction of the cords passing through the smooth brass tubes of the “skirts”. Each pendant features a 4.5"/110mm diameter diffuser of handblown Czech glass suspended on a fabric-wrapped electrical cord. 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. Cord lengths are field adjustable.
