Globe

The globe changes with its support

A rounded glass shade can feel quite different close to a tabletop, at the end of a tall stem or suspended above furniture. Globe explores those changes through restrained brass supports. The glass supplies the fuller volume; the metal gives it a base, an upright line or an open connection to the wall.

The table lamps offer more collected compositions, bringing the white glass close to the objects around it or raising it above a shaped base. The floor lamp extends the line beside a seat or larger furniture, with the globe marking its upper end. These proportions let the same rounded motif occupy different parts of an interior without adding another decorative pattern.

Glass near the architecture

Wall lights hold the globe closer to the wall. Their supports vary: an angular arm can frame the glass with open lines, while a simpler fitting keeps the attachment more contained. Small rounded terminations on selected designs echo the larger glass form and reward a closer view.

The ceiling light and pendant carry that pairing overhead. One keeps the glass nearer the ceiling; the other gives it space beneath a slender suspension. The position of the globe becomes as important to the composition as its shape. It can punctuate a wall, finish a vertical line or establish a centre above the furniture.

Within our indoor lighting, Globe offers a quiet way to connect those positions. Timber grain, woven fabrics and coloured walls can provide their own richness beside the white glass. The family’s spare brasswork leaves those surrounding materials room to remain visible.
