Talking about material and shape in his work, designer Matteo Thun eloquently says, “they appeal directly to our senses and immediately generate a sense of well-being.” Meticulously crafted glass and gently rounded forms in the Sphera S Pendant from Leucos Lighting evokes the soothing feeling Thun describes in his work. Its spherical Satin White glass shade is made in a traditional Italian process called incamicato, which entails master glassblowers combining several layers of different propertied glass into a unified piece. Together with its lighting, the piece produces a gentle ambient glow that is sharpened by clean chrome accents.
