Academia Venetian ceiling light in blown glass and nickel 48cm
Baloton crystal sphere ceiling light, available in 38cm - Siru - Ceiling lights
The Academia ceiling lamp is perfectly Venetian in style, with its diffuser in a flattened baloton crystal blown glass sphere and its nickel-plated cage. The structure of the ceiling lamp is made up of filaments that form the perfect cage for the diffuser, which is blown using the Baloton crystal technique. This unique process, emblematic of the art of Murano glassmaking, consists of blowing hot glass directly into a metal structure before it solidifies, creating the quilted effect of the glass and rhomboid shapes on the outer surface. It's this particular process that gives the glass its semi-transparent texture and fluid feel, making each model unique, with the slight variations that are part of the craft. With its 3 light bulbs, this ceiling lamp provides powerful lighting.
A brilliant blend of art and craftsmanship, Siru's fascinating lamps, which evoke the splendour of a bygone Venice, are handmade in the kiln using the ancient Venetian techniques of blowing and colouring molten glass.
