One piece of glass, blown in steps. The shade descends in four stages — a small collar at the top, a wide flaring disc, a narrower tier below it, and a final short cylinder at the base — and all of it is a single continuous body of glass. The steps are formed in the blowing, not assembled from separate parts.
Each tier gathers light differently. The wide middle disc reads brightest, the recessed steps above and below fall into shadow, and the open cylinder at the bottom releases a direct pool of light onto the surface beneath. The result is a fixture that shows depth and shading even though it is one solid shade.
Twelve colors, three different effects
-
Opaque opal — White, Pink, Orange, Red, Green, Yellow, Sage Green, Silver. Solid glossy glass with a lacquered depth. The color is at its strongest with the light off, and the shade glows softly from within when lit.
-
Translucent glass — Green Glass, Amber Glass, Smoke Grey Glass, Brown Glass. Tinted and light-transmitting, so the color carries into the light itself and the fixture stays luminous rather than solid.
-
The quiet ones and the loud ones. White, Sage Green, Smoke Grey, and Silver recede into a room. Orange, Red, Yellow, and Pink are period colors, meant to be the thing you notice.

Where to hang it
At 11.8 inches this is a mid-scale pendant that works alone or in a row. Hang one over a breakfast table or a reading chair, two or three over a kitchen island spaced 24 to 30 inches apart, or a single one in an entry or stairwell. Keep the base of the shade 30 to 36 inches above a counter and 30 to 34 inches above a tabletop. Because the height is adjustable, the drop can be set precisely at installation rather than being fixed by a supplied cord length — useful when hanging several in a row at matched heights, or stepping them down a stairwell.
Frequently asked questions
How big is it, and how much does it cost?
11.8 inches / 30 cm in diameter. $390 USD, the same in every color.
What colors are available?
Twelve: White, Pink, Orange, Red, Green, Yellow, Sage Green, and Silver in opaque opal glass; and Green Glass, Amber Glass, Smoke Grey Glass, and Brown Glass in translucent tinted glass.
What is the difference between the opaque and the glass colors?
The opaque opal colors are solid, so the color is strongest when the light is off and the shade glows gently when lit. The translucent options — Green, Amber, Smoke Grey, and Brown Glass — transmit light, so the color carries into the light cast on the room below.
Can the hanging height be adjusted?
Yes. The height is adjustable, so the drop is set at installation to suit your ceiling and the surface below rather than being fixed by a supplied cord length.
Is it hardwired?
Yes. It wires directly to a ceiling junction box and is operated from a wall switch. There is no plug and no inline cord switch, so installation should be carried out by an electrician if you are not comfortable working at a ceiling box.
Does it light directly downward?
Yes. The shade is open at the base, so a direct pool of light falls onto the surface below, while the tiers themselves glow. That combination makes it usable over a table or a counter rather than purely decorative.
Is the shade one piece or several?
One. The stepped tiers are formed in the blowing of a single continuous body of glass, not assembled from stacked separate shades.
How do I clean it?
Wipe with a soft cloth and a little glass cleaner, working into the recessed steps where dust settles. Avoid abrasive cleaners, which will dull the glossy surface.
Can it be used in a bathroom or outdoors?
No. It is an indoor fixture and is not damp- or wet-rated.
