These are the two materials Scandinavian lighting has leaned on for a hundred years, for good reason. Both age well, both take light kindly and neither argues with a room.
Wood does something for a glass shade that metal never quite manages. It is the reason this combination has survived every change of fashion since.
A rounded globe, an elongated teardrop and a third shape between them, so you can pick the silhouette that fits the space rather than the other way round.
Timber pairs a turned wooden collar with a blown glass shade, the two materials Scandinavian lighting has leaned on for a century. They are used together so often for good reason: both age well, both take light kindly, and neither argues with the rest of a room. A wooden collar softens glass in a way that a metal one never quite manages. It is a combination that has survived every change of fashion since.
There are three profiles. Style A is the rounded globe, Style B the elongated teardrop, and Style C the wide open bell, and each comes in clear, amber or smoked grey glass. Clear gives the sharpest sparkle from a filament bulb and the most output. Amber warms the whole light towards gold, which is what a dining table wants in the darker half of the year. Smoked grey softens everything into something closer to dusk, and reads well in a room with pale walls.
Mixing profiles within one finish makes a considered run over an island, and matching all three keeps things formal. A standard fitting means the bulb is yours to choose, and with clear glass that choice matters very nearly as much as the shade itself does.
The rounded globe is the safe answer in almost any room. The elongated teardrop suits a taller space or a row where each shade needs its own line.
Yes, turned wood at the collar, which is what gives the fitting its warmth and why it ages alongside the rest of the room.
Very well. Wood and glass read as calm rather than trend driven, which is exactly why the pairing keeps reappearing.
Yes. A row of the same profile over an island looks considered, and the wooden collars tie the run together.
Yes, which gives each shade slight differences in the curve and a softer quality of light than moulded glass would.
