I love stunning light fixtures and think they are as much artwork as they are functional pieces that light our homes. Architect Nils Finne has brought us the sophisticated, contemporary SKLI pendant, a piece which fuses art and function beautifully.
The texture of the glass, reminiscent of wrinkled silk, is achieved with hundreds of 1/16” glass rods that are hand-placed on a clear base sheet, and then fused together in a kiln at high temperature. The light that shines through the glass plane, or is reflected on the ceiling, gives a subtle and alluring effect.
The sensuous shape is made with waterjet cutting technology after the glass has been annealed.
This fixture is perfect for large rooms with a need for dramatic lighting effects.
Oh these really are wonderful. I would end up staring at the light rather than dinner.
