Lasso Chandelier

The Lasso Chandelier from SkLO reigns in one's room with a seductive light, silhouetted by ropes of hand-blown Czech glass. The piece reflects husband-and-wife design duo Karen Gilbert and Paul Pavlak's ethos of subtlety, restraint, and beauty. The crafting process is also central to the duo's work. The chandelier's crafted personality begins with a suspension composed of fabric-wrapped electrical cords. A crossbar extends towards the edges of one's table surface with a slender, subtle profile. Artisans individually arrange glass ropes of varying sizes over the crossbar to create a sense of inspiring movement. Glass blowers in the Czech Republic create the ropes with generous curves and an open feel. Lamps arranged inside the glass contours turn on to enhance the artful silhouette with a soft glaze of light. The light filters through the glass to produce a generous, eye-pleasing glow in the room.
