The aim of the project was to use an ancestral technique like glass-blowing to create a product that would suit modern, linear spaces.
Brooklyn-based design and manufacturing studio Shakúff has released the Tamar Wand light, which features a tubular shade wrapped in strings of blown glass.
The Tamar Wand pendant is made by glassblowers, who stretch borosilicate glass very thinly before swirling it around the outside of a glass tube. This creates an unusual drizzled texture that catches the eye.
The light, which is an update of Shakúff's Tamar pendant, is illuminated by internal LED strips, connected via a stainless-steel rod that also serves to cool them.

Brushed brass or chrome detailing adds to the contemporary feel of the design.
