Red Sphaerae Pendant Light by Dechem Studio

About the Item

Red sphaerae pendant light by Dechem Studio Dimensions: D 20 x H 180 cm Materials: brass, metal, glass. Also available: different finishes and colors available. Only one homogenous piece of hand blown glass creates the main body of Sphaerae light fixture whose medium-sized sphere is connected with the cylinder in its upper part. While the sphere is largely illuminated, the cylinder is not, creating a beautiful contrast of forms and various colour qualities. The model, available in various bright colours, also features a delicate detail of three brass balls on the fixture itself. Glass, just like people or trees, is perfectly capable of being shaped and formed. One can imprint just about anything into it, give it a form, and capture a passing moment, breath a new life into it. Later it stiffens and freezes like a petrified fossil, like magma, like a witness. No one can move it. It is solid as a rock and if you urge it, it rather shatters into pieces than to surrender. We are DECHEM. We are Michaela and Jakub, designers and storytellers in Bohemian glass. Our work is based on contemporary design combined with a mastery of production and a healthy respect for old Central European Craft and traditions. We design, produce and sell our collections of lights and decorative glass products. We produce unique light fixtures made from a combination of mouth-blown glass and handcrafted brass. Our glamorous chandeliers light up any space with a playful yet elegant appearance. A significant component of our work is blowing glass into a colour gradient. The wide range of fresh gradient colours is a distinctive feature of the Bandaska vase from our collection. It draws inspiration from traditional milk containers, well-known in Czech village households, and their elegant lines are now coming into modern homes in the form of our glass vases and lights. In addition to our normal production, we love to devise bespoke luminous objects for interiors. They arise from experimenting with unconventional materials and unusual combinations. Along with our own work, we like to be part of special collaborations and exhibitions. We have collaborated with renowned galleries and institutions, and curated and exhibited projects in Milano, London, Frankfurt, Istanbul and several other cities around the world. All of our creations are manufactured with care in Czech workshops using unique methods, including hand-blowing, snapping, cutting, grinding, firing, engraving and glass painting. We founded DECHEM studio in Prague in 2012 as partners in both work and life after years of studying glass Craft and design, and we have grown it into a renowned and award-winning design studio.
