Liuku Ball Mini Pendant with Glass Shade

A clean, calm design illustrative of designer Maija Puoksari’s love for nature. Blown glass and wood crafting masters combine their talents in the charming Liuku Ball Mini Pendant with Glass Shade from Mater. Being from Finland, nature for Maija Puoksari is an endless source of inspiration. She boils down the beauty of what she sees into pure shapes that stress form and function. Its globe shade is made from FSC-certified wood from ethically treated forests. The globe seemingly floats in the air as its perfectly crafted shape and timeless wood grain pop beautifully. Czech glassblowers complement the wood with a smooth, seductive shape and a crisp surface quality. Fitted with an energy-efficient LED module, the piece creates a stream of warm highlights and accenting down glow fitting on its own or as a series.
