Solna
Starting at $7,000 USD
Solna is a feat of craftsmanship, with a voluminous shade created by casting molten glass into the southernmost metal ring, thereby fusing the two together, creating a confident/assured material and sartorial bond. Solna’s superpower is the ability to reflect all that surrounds it, whether lit or not, like a sculptural mirror. It is suspended from a custom-made metal canopy by three bespoke chains, with every single link created and soldered by hand in a 150-year-old French workroom. Choose from clear, ivory, opaque black or opaque green glass shades and seven alloys.

This weighty piece features a voluptuous shade created by blowing molten glass into a custom metal ring, thereby fusing the two together.
Every piece of metal was hand crafted in France, even the individual links of the chains that suspend the shade from the canopy.
Solna reflects all that surrounds it, whether lit or not, like a sculptural mirror.
Solna was inspired by large, comforting mid century Danish pendant lights, often suspended over dining tables.
