Float 2.0 Table Lamp by SKLO

Float 2.0 Table Lamp by SkLO

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.

About Float 2.0 Light

Glass shaped by hand

The glass spheres of the Float 2.0 Lights are thick, heavy, and massive because of their free-blown nature. Elemental in their simplicity. Irregular and imperfect, they are unmistakably handmade. Each glass shade also features a signature SkLO detail, a rippling fire-polished mouth which is created by a second dip into the molten glass, and then the piece is broken from the glassblower's pipe and fire-polished, intentionally introducing an uncontrollable detail, and making each one different.

Pushing the limits of glass

Produced without the use of a mould to give it shape, the spheres of the Float 2.0 Lights are meant as a pure expression of handblown glass, and the skill of the Czech glassblowers who produce SkLO glass. The larger of the two sizes, at 20"/500mm diameter, is the biggest free-blown sphere possible. Perfect signature details for sleek interiors of all kinds.
