The story

Lente, light through a lens of glass

On a Venetian afternoon, sunlight bounces off the canal and dances across old plaster walls in shifting ripples.

Lente, the Italian word for lens, brings that moving light indoors. Thirteen discs of hammered glass, each gently cupped like a lens, hang in three tiers on slender gold rods in front of a gold backplate. Switch it on and three hidden lights shine through every disc: the hammered texture breaks the light into soft ripples that spread across the wall, while the glass glows green, amber or crystal clear.

Hang a pair either side of a bed, a mirror or a fireplace, or use them along a hallway or staircase. The Lente suits mid-century modern, retro, Hollywood Regency, eclectic and Art Deco interiors.

Glass colour

Green, amber or clear

All three sit on a gold frame. The hammered glass scatters soft, water-like ripples of light across the wall: clear gives the sharpest pattern, amber the warmest, green the deepest.

Green

Deep and vintage, beautiful with walnut, velvet and plants.

Amber

The warmest glow, like late-afternoon sun on a wall.

Clear

The brightest light, with every ripple on show.

Questions, answered

Before you order

The glass and light

Why does it cast ripples on the wall?

Each of the 13 discs has a hammered surface that works like a small lens, breaking the light into soft, water-like ripples instead of a flat glow. Clear glass gives the sharpest pattern.

Green, amber or clear?

Clear gives the brightest light and sharpest ripples; amber the warmest, golden glow; green the deepest, most vintage atmosphere. All three sit on a gold frame.

Is every glass disc the same?

They share the same shape and colour, but the hammered texture and depth of colour vary slightly from piece to piece. That is the natural character of formed glass, not a defect.

Can I order another glass colour?

Yes. Other glass colours can be made on request: please contact us before ordering.

Size and placement

How big is the Lente?

It measures Ø 38 cm × H 38 cm (Ø 15″ × H 15″), with 13 glass discs of 12 cm (4.7″) each.

How high should I mount it?

In living rooms and hallways, place the centre about 150–165 cm (60–66″) from the floor. Beside a bed, about 120–150 cm (48–60″) works best.

Should I buy one or a pair?

A pair either side of a bed, mirror or fireplace gives the most balanced look, and choosing the size marked (*2) gets you two at a better price. A single sconce makes a lovely focal point in a hallway.

Installation and care

Which bulbs does it use?

Three E12 bulbs (candelabra, standard in the US and Canada) or E14 bulbs (standard in Europe, the UK and much of Asia), up to 40 W in total. Warm white LED bulbs of 2700–3000K bring out the colour of the glass and stay cool.

Is it dimmable?

The standard Lente is on/off only. A dimmable version is available on request: please contact us before ordering.

How is it installed?

It is an indoor wall light. For safety, we recommend installation by a qualified electrician, following local electrical codes.

How do I clean the glass?

Switch off and let the bulbs cool, then wipe each disc with a soft, dry or lightly damp microfibre cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, which can dull the hammered texture.

How soon will my order ship?

Each sconce is prepared at our factory in 5–10 days, then dispatched to you. You will see the delivery estimate for your country at checkout.

Still deciding

Between two sizes? Size up.

The gaps between the tubes let the ceiling show through, so this one reads lighter than its measured diameter. Our field notes work through the rest — the sizing formulas for round and rectangular tables, hanging heights by ceiling, and how the tube form compares to a petal one.

Glass Shaped by Hand

Heat, patience and steady hands in every piece.

An artisan shaping molten amber glass with hand tools in a glass workshop.

Handmade Glass Series

Glass Shaped by Hand

Every glass shade in this series is made by hand. Artisans gather molten glass, then turn, stretch and shape it with heat and hand tools until the form feels just right.

No two pieces leave the workshop exactly alike. The small differences in curve, thickness and tone are what give handmade glass its warmth and depth.

  • Formed in the heat

    The glass is worked while it is still molten, so every curve is guided by eye and feel instead of being stamped out as identical parts.

  • Shaped with hand tools

    Traditional tools are used to pull, pinch and smooth the glass, leaving the subtle marks of the maker's hand in the finished piece.

  • Cooled slowly for strength

    Finished pieces are cooled gradually so the glass settles evenly, helping it stay strong and stable in everyday use.

Tiny bubbles, faint swirls and slight shifts in color are natural in handmade glass, and they make each piece one of a kind.

  • A purple faceted glass pendant shade with gem-like cuts catching the light.
  • A ruby red tapered glass shade with a smooth, glossy surface.
  • An ocean blue cylindrical glass shade with a fluted, bark-like texture.
  • A round pearlescent glass disc shimmering with iridescent color.
  • An amber champagne faceted glass shade glowing with warm golden tones.
  • A clear tapered glass piece with amber texture set on a green glass base.
  • A dusty pink cylindrical glass shade with soft fluted ridges.
  • A glass disc swirled with emerald and purple iridescent color.

Many Colors, Many Styles

The Art of Handmade Glass

Every shade begins as molten glass and is shaped, colored and finished by hand. Swirled glass bodies and fluted shades are then brought together into lamps that glow with depth, texture and a character no two pieces share exactly.

Handmade swirled glass pieces and fluted shades in custom colors laid out in a grid for assembly.
  • Shaped by hand

    Each glass piece is formed and finished by skilled artisans, so every curve and edge carries its own gentle character.

  • Swirls of color

    Soft ribbons of color run through the glass, shifting in tone and glowing warmly once the light is on.

  • Fluted texture

    Fine fluted ribs catch the light and diffuse it, softening glare while adding depth and rhythm to the shade.

  • Assembled to pair

    Swirled glass bodies and fluted shades are fitted together, so each lamp brings two textures into one design.

The beauty of handmade

Because every piece is shaped by hand, tiny bubbles, gentle shifts in color and slight differences in thickness are natural. They are signs of real craftsmanship, and they make each lamp one of a kind.
