14 is an articulated, cast glass sphere with a frosted cylindrical void that houses either a low-voltage xenon or LED lamp. Individual pendants are visually subtle, but gain an atmospheric quality when multiplied and clustered in groups.
16 is formed by sequentially pouring three separate layers of molten glass – in varying opacities – on a horizontal plane. Each layer responds to the indeterminate shape of the previous pour to create a uniquely layered whole. Two of these pieces are then attached and illuminated with an internal LED lamp. A modular stainless steel armature system connects the glass pieces to a series of branches and stems.
The 1965 Pendant was originally designed by Paavo Tynell in 1948. Like many of his best- known designs, the pendant was designed for the Finland House in New York – one of the most ambitious and successful projects of all time to showcase Finnish design.
Perfecting the techniques of metal finishes, Tynell developed the 1965 Pendant with his exceptional ability to capture and translate a
grace and exuberant lightness into his brass creations. Characterized by its triangular perforation pattern, an artistic detail utilised by Tynell in several of his lighting objects, the 1965 Pendant reflects the distinguished craftsmanship of the Finnish designer. With a frosted glass diffuser that softens the light, the pendant contributes to a subtle and tranquil environment.
Designed by Gino Sarfatti, 1958 Suspension lamp providing diffused light. Steel central structure with brass arms, both available either chromium-plated or gilded. Steel ceiling fitting and rose.
28 results from an innovative fabrication process that manipulates both the temperature and the direction of air flow into blown glass. The result is a slightly distorted sphere with an interior landscape of satellite shapes, including an opaque milk glass diffuser that houses either a low-voltage xenon or LED lamp.
38 pushes the fabrication technique originally developed for 28 to its technical and material limits. A large glass sphere is blown with a multitude of haphazard interior cavities, which intersect and collide with each other in unpredictable ways. Several of these satellite cavities are deep enough to hold earth and succulent or cacti plantings, while others house lighting elements. Each 38 contains two or three lighting elements per large sphere, housing either a 10-watt xenon or a 1.8-watt LED lamp, and one or two planters.
Paavo Tynell’s fanciful take on nature is gracefully echoed in the 5321 Table Lamp, designed by the Finnish designer in 1941. Under the distinctive shell-inspired brass shade, the bulb subtly appears from beneath; a picturesque detail resembling the desirable sea shell pearl and making the 5321 Table Lamp a perfect example on how Tynell brought a playful nature and romance to the
simplified style of mid-century modernism. Blending timeless aesthetic with a unique sense of form, the 5321 Table Lamp adds an exquisite character to complement any modern space. Both decorative and functional, the lamp is a balance of elegance and curiosity, providing a design that is at once subtle and surprising.
73 results from blowing liquid glass into a folded and highly heat-resistant ceramic fabric vessel. The resulting shape has a formal and textural expression intuitively associated with fabric, which becomes permanent and rigid as it cools. A flat LED is positioned to fill the resulting volume with diffuse light, accentuating the volumetric perception of the piece.
A white glass moil is captured inside a fine copper mesh basket and then plunged into hot clear glass. Air is blown into the matrix to gently push the white glass through the mesh, creating a delicate pillowed form that is suspended inside the thick outer layer of clear glass. Sometimes the copper mesh basket folds and crinkles, adding specificity to each piece. Undulations in the exterior shape are a natural consequence of the fabrication process and accentuate the gentle white pillowing below. A low-voltage xenon or LED light source is introduced into the piece, casting a warm coppery hue.
Soda water is used to trap air in a super heated glass matrix, which is vertically stretched and folded back onto itself between pegs numerous times. As the glass cools, the folding motion along the grain of the loop turns the entrapped air into microfilaments that give the piece a pearlescent optical quality. A low-voltage xenon or LED light source is introduced at one end of the loop casting light through the microfilaments and registering a gentle gradient.
The 9464 Wall Lamp, designed in the early 1950’s by Paavo Tynell, is a great example on how the Finnish designer elevated illumination into an art form. The clean, sculptured brass shade lends an air of elegance with Tynell’s distinctive traits of twin dot perforation pattern combined with notched edges, making the wall
lamp appealing and admirable in all its simplicity. Equally relevant today as when first introduced, the 9464 Wall Lamp fits perfectly into contemporary interiors, adding a sculptural effect to the wall whilst simultaneously creating a relaxed yet very re ned indirect lighting.
The 9602 Floor Lamp, also known as “Chinese Hat” was designed by Paavo Tynell in 1938 for the Hotel Aulanko. Characterised by its elegant and airy lampshade and rattan-covered stem, the 9602 Floor Lamp shows the design- er’s limitless imagination and unparalleled
ability to create designs of enduring beauty. Adding a playful, exuberant quality to the top, balanced by the more static form of the base, the 9602 Floor Lamp is perfectly suited for creating a gentle ambient light in the domestic living room.
Unveiled in 1948 at the Finland House in New York, the A1965 Pendant was an instant success for Paavo Tynell and one of the lighting fixtures considered to define his mid-century peak. It delicately holds some of his most distinctive design traits; the perforated and polished brass material combined with a unique lift mechanism, raising and lowering the lamp to different heights. The A1965 Pendant gracefully di uses the light down- wards through frosted glass, omitting glare whilst gently illuminating the room.
The hanging counterweighted A1965 Pendant was Tynell’s attempt to add lighting mobility to the ceiling fixture and comb- ing the advantages of the portable and the installed lamp. The impeccable construction of the A1965 Pendant fully reveals Paavo Tynell’s knack for elevating ordinary light fixtures into functional art and this remark- able style played a significant role in shaping the aesthetic of mid-century lighting.
“The general idea underpinning this project is to offer a lamp which can be infinitely adjusted to satisfy all lighting needs. We have developed a new type of lamp that is naturally positioned in space – like a plant – with long cables providing maximum freedom to adjust the direction and height of the light source. This object is the industrial version of the ‘Liane’ lamp presented at the Kreo gallery in Paris in 2010.” R. & E. Bouroullec. Suspended light fitting. Body in varnished aluminium sheet, shade in photo-etched optical polycarbonate. Internal reflector in photo-etched ABS. Directionable body. Powered directly from mains. The cable has a useful length of 9 metres and thus the lamp can be suspended 3 metres from the ceiling. Wall plug version and dimmer/switch on cable.

An extension to the AMBIT series, Stockholm-based TAF Architects have developed a new interpretation of the quintessential billiard table lamp. AMBIT RAIL is constructed out of three shades mounted onto a tube; a well-known yet charming typology which showcases what seems like a reformed, modernised chandelier. The AMBIT RAIL leaves a minimal yet striking impression which compliments a diverse set of surroundings. A key focus in the design process was the fluidity of the lamp. All joints and cables are hidden, and the supporting wires are remarkably thin, causing the lamp to seamlessly float in mid-air.

The Aplomb project explores the technological and expressive possibilities of concrete, a rough yet at the same time appealing material, achieving a leap of scale and genre: from large contemporary architectural buildings to a small designer lamp. In its shape and use, Aplomb recalls a burning torch, to be grabbed and moved easily to where it is needed. Its light beam is an intense up-light, but it creates no glare because it is completely screened from view by the shape that encloses the light source.
Hanging lamp in concrete offered in three, coloured finishes which celebrate its personality, bringing together different styles, from the traditional grey of cement in its raw state, which adds depth to the volumes, to a stylish white hue, and a warm intense brown. Perfect for occasional tables, peninsulas and counters, either on its own or in a group.LED technology now meets the textured and contemporary charm of concrete, in a new version of the Aplomb suspension lamp. The long life assured by the light source makes for a reduction in maintenance work, whereas its particular efficiency adds further value in terms of energy savings and eco-sustainability.
Born from the desire to use rough concrete, typical of large modern buildings, to create a light object in slender, refined forms, the Aplomb lamp has been hugely successful ever since its inception. A special concrete formula which can be poured into slender moulds has produced an elegant and inimitable product. By using the same material, Foscarini proposes an even smaller version of the original suspension Aplomb lamp.

Floor lamp providing direct light. White Carrara marble base. Satin-finish stainless steel telescopic stem. Pressed, polished and zapon-varnished aluminum swiveling and height-adjustable reflector. “We were thinking about a lamp that shines light onto a table. They already existed, but you had to walk round them. To leave enough space around the table, the base had to be at least two meters away. Which was how the idea for Arco came into being. We wanted to make it with commercially available parts and we found that curved steel angle iron worked perfectly well. Then there was the problem of the counterweight: a heavy weight was needed to support it all.”
Diffuse light suspended lighting device. Body in extruded, curved NC-machined and black powder-coated aluminium, diffuser in platinum optical silicone. Each component can be connected to the power pack by means of an electrical and mechanical connection system designed for customisable product set-up. Roses available with two powers: lamp with power under 70W and lamp with power under 190W. Class III roses also available for installations with remote power supply: “surface” version for installations on cement, “recessed” version for plasterboard ceilings. The electronics integrated in the rose enables use of dimming systems: push, 1-10, potentiometer, DALI. In the absence of these systems, the light flow can be set with the push system included in the rose. Cable length 2.5m
Arumi reflects Foscarini’s ability to transform an industrial object made in die-cast aluminium alloy, into a finely crafted artefact, thanks to careful manual polishing of the inner surface and the outer border, joined by the handcrafted irregular finish of all the outer surfaces and the three reliefs that bring rhythm to the piece. Arumi embodies elegant, precious contrasts, making it beautiful even when not in use. When it is turned on, the luminous part has been designed to be gentle with the eyes of the observer, efficient but also soft in its light emission, to enhance the elegance of the polished internal part. The light flow of a dimmable LED of the latest generation is transmitted inside a very pure transparent cylinder that terminates in a detail specifically designed to project the beam onto the polished inner walls.
The B-4 Table Lamp by Greta M. Grossman was designed in 1945 and bears her whimsical and powerful signature style. With playful angles and geometric elements, the table lamp is characterized by its colourful and movable visors allowing light to diffuse softly around any table it stands on. The lamp fits effortlessly into almost any environment, adding a dash of American modernism panache to the room.
The silhouette of the B-4 Table Lamp, with its stilt base and alternating colour panels, resembles some of Greta M. Grossman’s most iconic architecture more than any other design item from her career. Typically, her houses were perched high up on stilts with cantilevered decks and walls of glass to take in the magnificent hillside views of Southern California – and with a fanciful style the B-4 Table Lamp beautifully reflects her modernist design principles.
Large-scale wall lamps, Bahia is ideal for adding a hint of softness to a wall, both highly evocative yet, at the same time, truly elegant. Group arrangements of this lamp, even turning it in different directions, turns the wall into a backdrop for original visual interplay
Extended from our explorations with global manufacturing company TRUMPF, Ball is a giant pendant formed from 12 black anodised aluminium panels, punched, folded and assembled into shape.Measuring 1.2m in width, the light source comes from a 50cm opal shade suspended in the centre of the ball.
A collection of simple yet timeless lamps based on a transparent, nearly invisible balloon with a hovering reflector to serve as an elegant and stately source of light in any setting.

Bell is an exercise in reductionism, its polished surface reflecting the characteristics and the colours of its surroundings. The floor lamps have a weighted base for added stability.
Inspired by percussion instruments, Crash and Bell are two lamps, which are independent but complementary. Crash resembles a cymbal while Bell looks just as its name suggests. Both are available in bronze or aluminium colours and have been given a surface treatment with small, concentric grooves. They both use the same multi-faceted blown glass element resembling vintage glassware which projects beams of fragmented light onto the diffuser’s metal surface and at the same time leaves the naked bulb in full view in a clear reference to the world of industry. On their own, as a twosome or in groups, it is this two-fold light effect that gives Crash & Bell its powerful and unique impact.

While experimenting with the reflections and refraction of light, designer Samuel Wilkinson discovered a beautiful quilted effect when the light source was surrounded by patterned glass. This led to his design of the Blown series of lamps – and the launch of the Blown ceiling lamp. Choose from either silver or opal glass and let yourself be mesmerised by the effect. Switched on, the Blown ceiling lamp emits a soft light that projects a quilted pattern dispersed across the ceiling. Brilliant for a home, high-end hotel, restaurant, lounge or any other such setting, it adds a subtle sense of graphics that’s striking. The name Blown is inspired by the process of creating the lamp itself, where each lamp is mouth-blown by artisans and expert crafts people. An authentic technique that contributes to the stunning patterns projected onto the ceiling when lit, transforming any space into a work of art.
Blown is Samuel WilkinsonÍs first lamp for &tradition. A mouth-blown pendant with a quilted pattern, it comes in two versions: a translucent variant with a silver lustre and a sandblasted white one. The pendant is fitted with a powder-coated cast metal suspension. The pendant was conceived as an exploration of the reflections, distortions, and refractions of a light source when surrounded by patterned glass.
The quilted surface texture of the Blown table lamp is distinctive in itself. Switched on, the lamp projects a pattern of reflections and refractions that add a touch of art to a cosy, intimate atmosphere. An extension of the small Blown pendant also by Samuel Wilkinson, it features a silver tinted translucent glass in the same small size, secured upright on a black marble base with a dimmer to adjust the light. Ideal in a private setting by a bedside, desk or windowsill, as well as a commercial or retail venue as part of a display, you can art direct the effect to be subtle or striking.

In the 1990s, Rodolfo Dordoni designed a collection of table, floor and suspension lamps for Foscarini in brightly coloured blown glass, named after the nstural elements: Fruits, Blossom and Buds. Today, Buds has been restyled again, interpreting contemporary taste with a sophisticated wealth and focus on materials. The star of the design remains blown-glass, with a five-layer hand-crafted process, which is immediately evident thanks to the larger cut of the diffuser. With the new rangfe of colours – cold brown, cold grey, bamboo green and white, with a straw-yellow internal finish – Buds takes on a dual value: it is warm when the lamp is on and cold when off.
With Bulb, Danish light artist Sofie Refer lit up the new millennium and a new classic was blown. The shape refers to the first electrical light bulbs by using thick transparent glass. Sofie Refer continues an elegant Nordic tradition, adding her own passion and femininity. The small irregularities in the mouth blown glass make each of the pendants one of a kind and add the story of the glass master’s personal efforts in changing sand, soda and chalk into a modern classic using a thousand year old method.
