About the Item

Here is a beautiful example of the amber/honey “Bubble Sconce” ceiling plafond, designed by Helena Tynell and manufactured by Glashütte Limburg in Germany in the 1960s-70s. The design consists of a hand-molded glass shade full of convex “bubbles” . Honey-thick, hand-formed glass. Distinctive bubbly texture. Thanks to its texture, the glass gently diffuses light, creating multilayered reflections in warm amber tones . The lamps in this series, known as “bubble glass,” are an iconic example of contemporary art glass in a utilitarian form. Helena Tynell (1918-2016) is an esteemed Finnish glass designer who collaborated with German manufacturer Limburg in the 1970s to create a series of lamps with glass elements with a “bubble” structure Mounting directly to the ceiling or wall.
