The Gemma Table Lamp, Large ($6,000) features those dot embellishments, “made using a modern variation on a centuries-old practice, which involves applying handmade glass details—in this case, marble-like dots—to blown glass surfaces.”

The teeny Calla Petite Table Lamp ($3,000) is both portable and rechargeable.
The Gemma Petite Pendant ($3,000) has two lines of glass dots—like buttons down the back of a dress. Match embellishment to shade for a monochrome look, or pair two hues for contrast.
Like all of the lights in the collection, the Gemma Floor Lamp ($7,250) “doubles as a sculpture.”
