Phoenix

Blown glass LED floor lamp (60W with touch dimmer) from the PHOENIX collection, designed by Visser & Meijwaard for Linteloo. Glass: Blown glass, sandblasted, with marble effect. Colour glass: Salmone. Rings: Powder-coated steel with a bronze finish. Light source: LED strip 230V EU/UK. Light colour: 2700K. Origin: Hand made in Italy. In the 1400s, Angelo Barovier, Murano’s greatest glassmaker ever, developed the art of calcedonia: adding oxides to glass for a marbled effect, resembling semiprecious chalcedony. With changing fashions, this intricate technique almost got lost, until it was revived in de mid-1800s. Together with a family of Italian artisans, Dutch design duo Visser & Meijwaard have opted for pared back, ton-sur-ton veining in their PHOENIX lamp, complementing its elegant, clean lines, reminiscent of the Art Deco period. The individual, mouth-blown elements come together like beads on a necklace: a jewel in any interior.
