This new lighting collection, designed exclusively for Henge by Ugo Cacciatori, epitomizes the union of cutting-edge design and traditional craftsmanship. The collection features four distinct glass-blown lights, all meticulously crafted in the famed glass workshops of Murano, an island celebrated for its long-standing tradition of exquisite glassmaking. The Floyd Series stands out not just for its aesthetic appeal, but for the remarkable synergy between Venini‘s master glassmakers and Henge’s dedication to timeless design.
This partnership brings forth a product line that is not only beautiful but also of unparalleled quality. Each piece in the series is a testament to the dexterity and expertise of Venini’s artisans, whose skillful glass-blowing techniques have been perfected over generations. The result is a collection that showcases the exquisite, smoky purity of sinuous shapes, achieved through a process known as double expansion. This technique enhances the glass’s polyhedric versatility, allowing each piece to amaze with its multifaceted brilliance.
The Floyd Series includes four distinct models, each with its unique charm and functionality:
Floyd Pendant: A hanging light that serves as a centerpiece, exuding elegance and sophistication. Its design is perfect for adding a touch of luxury to any space.
Floyd W Wall Light: A wall-mounted fixture that combines practical lighting with artistic design. It provides both functional illumination and a decorative element to enhance the ambiance of any room.
Floyd Thor Floor Lamp: This floor lamp features a sturdy stone base, offering a striking contrast to the delicate glass top. It is an embodiment of strength and grace, suitable for a variety of interior styles.
Floyd Slide Floor Lamp: Another floor lamp variant, this model comes with a sleek metal base. It combines modernity with traditional craftsmanship, making it a versatile piece that can complement contemporary interiors.
Each piece in the Floyd Lights Series is not just a lighting fixture but a fully-fledged work of art. The collaboration between Henge and Venini highlights the endless possibilities when modern design principles meet historic craftsmanship. The Floyd Lights Series is a celebration of artistic innovation and a tribute to the enduring beauty of hand-blown glass, promising to captivate and inspire for years to come.
