Gigi
Gigi is playful. Its lines are daring and its tones sensual. Under the breath of the glassblower, the unique shades and tones of the color spread throughout the material. It allows itself to be discovered, to be revealed in alternating opacity and transparency.
Gigi was the result of a professional love affair between Studio d'Armes and Verre d'Onge. This joint project is the alliance of two domains: the mastery of glass and of light.

Random Solo
Five perfect spheres floating in the air like gentle glass bubbles. Designed by Chia-Ying Lee, Random Solo revisits the concept of the Random suspension lamp by parting the original three-piece cluster and adding two new blown glass spheres.

Fiber optic cables emerge from each point, emitting a pulsating, glowing ambient light. Affixed to these points are small hand-blown glass orbs that diffuse the light.

Ph. Michele De Lucchi
After Bonne Nuit and Spettra, here comes the third borosilicate glass lamp.
Steadily more rarefied, fewer and fewer materials, closer and closer to nothingness.
Born for the LEDs epoch, it matches traditional sources too. The LEDs are direct, straight, perforating and impertinent rays that give space no luminescence. Reflected on a silvered cap, they soften, diffuse and expand.
Technical data:
table lamps
diffuser: transparent and transmirrorblown borosilicate glass
structure: shinychromed metal
