&Tradition Blown Pendant Lamp
The &Tradition Blown Pendant Lamp is Samuel Wilkinson’s first lamp for &tradition. A mouth-blown pendant lamp with a quilted pattern, it comes in two versions: a translucent variant with a silver lustre and a sandblasted one.
The pendant was conceived as an exploration of the reflections, distortions, and refractions of a light source when surrounded by patterned glass. Wilkinson explains the wide range of inspirations he looked to when developing Blown:
“Like with any project, you start with an idea, and then you start looking at the world through a sort of filter. I’ve looked at antique ceramics, old glass pieces, lenses from very old lamps, lighthouses, even a mirrored bottle, just to see the way the light comes off it.”
Wilkinson even sought inspiration in seeds and berries – particularly rasp- berries – for the quilted texture of the glass.
Producing Blown is a combination of industrial processes and traditional craftsmanship.
