Luceplan GlassGlass Round Shade Pendant Lamp by Paolo Rizzatto. Design by Paolo Rizzatto, 1998. With GlassGlass, thanks to its versatility, lighting scenarios and different atmospheres can be created to match everyday situations. The blown glass diffuser bodies are “originals” because, although made within a modern cycle of serial production, the ancient blowing process craft is maintained, as it was in Syria and later in the Roman Empire in 100 BC. The light can be clamped both to the ceiling and to the wall.

The attachment rosette comprises a rigid arm and, in the case of wall installations, it allows the diffuser to be distanced from the wall. The electric cable is a bearing element because it runs along a steel mesh sheath. This can bear heavy weights, the ends of which are fixed to the rosette and to the terminal diffuser ring support. The system of the ring with handle, fixed to the mouth of the glass, and easily hooked onto the bearing frame, offers handiness, safety, simple assembly and maintenance previously unthinkable for glass diffusers on that scale. GLASSGLASS makes it possible simply to interchange its glass units chosen from a wide range of forms, colours and transparencies to satisfy the most diverse and personal needs.

The round attachment for Glassglass is pictured second from the right in the above picture.
