Swank Lighting to launch 21st. Century American Murano Lamps

Well they’re really not Murano Lamps, they are fashioned after our most popular vintage Murano Lamps.  We contracted with Los Angeles glass artist Joe Cariatito hand blow the glass bodies for this exciting lamp line extension. 

Joe Cariati is a designer and glassblower from Los Angeles who produces high quality, 100% hand-made, hand-crafted contemporary glassware. His collection of elegant bottles, bowls and vases are a response to the need for original hand-made work to be accessible, affordable and unique. All work is made by Joe, from start to finish using a Venetian off-hand glassblowing technique that makes each piece one-of-a-kind.  Joe’s glass collection is available at finer stores throughout the U.S. including Barneys, Gumps, and Haven.

The first phase of this new line of lamps will include 4 Joe Cariati designs inspired by his favorite vintage pieces at Swank Lighting.  Each design will be available in 5 hot colors.

Here are a few teaser photos of the first batch of glass bodies to come out of the oven.

The full line to launch at the end of summer.  Stay tuned for updates.
