Elide
A pattern that leaves the glass clear
Elide’s ribs give the glass a pattern without turning it into an opaque surface. The room remains visible through the bell, while the repeated lines make its curve easier to notice. The shade can therefore have detail of its own and still allow the wall or furniture beyond to contribute to the view.
That relationship changes with the setting. Against a simple painted wall, the ribbing can be appreciated as a finely drawn surface. Near timber or textured plaster, another pattern is visible behind it. The glass brings a distinct contour to those materials without covering them with a single block of colour.
One glass surface, different constructions
The brasswork gives that recurring glass form several directions. Curved wall arms hold the bells away from round attachments, either as a single accent or a wider branching composition. On the desk lamp, a bent stem and stepped circular base bring the same clear shade close to the tabletop; its joint lets the glass take a different angle. The ribbing remains the fine detail, while the supports establish how the object meets the wall or furniture.
Above the room, Elide moves between a single pendant, linear suspended groups and a chandelier whose arms spread around a central stem. The elongated forms draw the eye along a table; the branched composition gathers the glass around a centre. Open intervals in the brasswork let each bell retain a separate outline. The same glass detail can be intimate on one shade and rhythmic across a group.
The ceiling lights offer another proportion of glass to space. Compact fittings keep a bell close to its ceiling connection, while extended versions repeat shades along a bar. That difference gives Elide a useful range of overhead forms as well as the wall and desk designs. A room can take its character from a long suspended arrangement or from smaller fittings placed among the furnishings, with ribbed glass providing the visual connection.
Within our interior lighting, Elide offers decorative glass that keeps the surrounding materials in view. Its interest is not only the surface of a bell, but also the way that surface changes when it is brought near a desk, repeated along a beam or gathered overhead. Brass curves and clear ribs give these different arrangements a recognisable character without making their roles interchangeable.
