Lantern Pendant Light with Canopy

Design by Jan Plecháč & Henry Wielgus

The ancient shape of the lantern, transformed by BOMMA and recast into glass,
maintains its age-old symbolism of a messenger. The essential shape of the crystal
Chinese lantern is replicated by hand-blowing into a wooden form. The resulting
precise craft, despite its minimalist appearance, accentuates our prime devotion
to traditional glassmaking principles in both top quality and perfect details. In their basic clear version, these lighting objects can be easily combined, forming random or even geometric groups. In smoke or white colors, Lantern adds soft ambient light to any interior.

All Bomma products are hand-made from mouth-blown lead-free crystal. Therefore any small bubbles, non-melts and irregularities in the glass are both proof and a characteristic feature of this traditional craft.

The Lantern Collection is produced in three colors - clear, white and smoke. The smoke and white color are made by underlying colored glass technology. Thanks to the manual process of blowing underlay glass, each piece is an original. Individual products may vary slightly in intensity, hue or even color. This is an accompanying characteristic of the traditional underlay glass technology.
