A familiar element in lighting, the globe, or sphere-shaped glass diffuser, was first introduced into modern design by the likes of Gio Ponti and Gino Sarfatti in the 1920's and 30's, and continues to be utilized in contemporary lighting today. This week, we're featuring ten current fixtures that carry on the tradition of this simple form with timeless elegance. Remember, when designing a space, a Good Atmosphere begins with good lighting.
The Ivy 8, inspired by new growth during the spring in London, features curved branches of metalwork with a choice of opal or smoked glass shades. This sculptural piece gives designers new opportunities for lights to be used in less static compositions.
