Gamma

Description

When the Gamma was introduced in the 1950s, the catalogue description read, "Radiating brass rods, capped with crystal spheres, add to the verve of this design.” Verve, indeed. This mid-century pendant is both playful and pretty.

This family of fixtures is based on a series of originals made between 1953 and the early '60s. To reproduce the design, our glass-making partners create the outer bowl by screen-printing a "spirograph" pattern onto a flat piece of glass and then "slumping" it into a rounded form. The inner bowl determines the kind of light cast: etched glass (on the Gamma and Luna) creates a soft, diffused glow, while metal (on the Meteor and Foton) reflects the light upward, washing the ceiling.
