Why you'll love the ARIA No.01

  • An opal globe that seems to float. The bent steel bracket holds the globe from the side, so the glass sits forward of the metal. From the front, you see only the glow.
  • Opal glass, 9¾ inches across. Each globe is hand-blown, with a fine inner layer of white glass that turns the bulb into an even, soft light.
  • Nightstand height at 10¾ inches. It fits a bedside table or the end of a sofa. The 5.1-pound matte black bracket balances the globe on its own, with no hidden ballast.
  • Plugs in, switches on the cord. It plugs into any standard outlet at 120V, with an inline switch on the cord. A free dimmable E26 bulb is included, and it works with a plug-in lamp dimmer.

A sphere of opal, held in the air by almost nothing.

When we drew ARIA, we were thinking about the floating spheres that Achille Castiglioni and Vico Magistretti kept returning to in the 1970s: a glass globe balanced against a single bent line of metal. The bracket does not hold the sphere from below. It catches it from the side, the way a hand might rest against a soap bubble.

Our globe is hand-blown opal glass, 9.8 inches across. The bracket is bent steel finished in matte black, the joint cantilevered so that the glass appears to float forward of the metal. The whole composition stands 10.6 inches tall.

From the side, the lamp reads as a sketch. From the front, it disappears behind the glow.

Hand-blown opal, bent steel

Each globe is hand-blown in a small atelier. The opal finish is achieved by adding a fine layer of white glass to the inside of the sphere during the blowing. The result is a soft, even glow without hot spots.

The bracket is bent in a single pass and powder-coated matte black. It is heavy enough on its own to counterweight the globe. No additional ballast needed.

For bedsides, consoles, and reading corners

Plugs into any standard US outlet. Inline switch on the cord. E26/E27 socket takes any 40W max bulb (LED equivalent, free dimmable bulb included). Standard 120V.

One configuration. Designed to sit on the kind of small table that gets used every day.
