Large ‘Pinecone’ Table Lamp in Opaline Glass & Gold Metal for Fontana Arte

Designed by Paola Navone, the diffuser is expertly handcrafted using the ancient caged-blown glass technique. Here, the glassmaker blows the molten glass blob into a metal cage, which only partly contains the blob’s natural expansion. With this method, the glass surface is both partly trapped and partly escapes, the metal cage. This generates an impression of tension as the object struggles to free itself from its harness; the cage is further enriched by the galvanic treatment that makes it look glossy and brilliant. The transparent version, in particular, reveals a two-fold structure that multiplies the scenic effect, while the metal cage pattern projects kaleidoscopic shade effects on the surrounding surfaces. On the contrary, in the opaline version the glass delicately envelops the cage surface and enhances its geometric pattern, generating an elegant and visually pleasing diffused light. The lighting fixture makes a highly appealing and striking impact whether powered on or off.
