We design and manufacture handblown glass lighting and objects from our studios in Healdsburg, Northern California and the Czech Republic. Every SkLO product is made with a deep appreciation for the richness of its organic material and the historical craft tradition it embodies.
SkLO designs demonstrate careful attention to detail, and a commitment to achieving the simplest expression of beauty. This belief in simplicity and design discipline is always balanced by a deep respect for the raw material, and closeness to the maker. There’s an inherent primal brutality and unexpectedness in glassblowing, and in Czech glass in particular. Masters of the craft make manipulation of molten glass appear effortless, as they employ generations of skillful technique. Our designs celebrate this process in their subtle irregularities, making each one a unique reflection of its long history.
You can’t tell glass what to do. The unique ability to capture moments in time within glass is what makes the material special.
SKLO Sway Bowl - The SkLO sway bowls are asymmetrical organic bowls with amazing depth of color executed in extremely thick Czech glass. Two complementary glass colors are used in each piece to create an?amazing and rich color effect. The?SkLO sway is a timeless design that works within a large range of?styles and interiors. The sway high bowl is taller and narrower; the sway long bowl is an irregular oval. Organically shaped, no two are exactly alike
SKLO Float Vessel - The SkLO float vessels are organic spheres of Czech glass with broken flame polished mouths. They are entirely free-blown, produced without the use of moulds to shape them. The tops are given a slight ripple where they are dipped twice into the molten glass, and the mouths broken from the blowpipe and fire polished while hot.
SKLO Echo Vessel - The SkLO echo vessels are rounded asymmetrical shapes of handblown Czech glass in transparent colors with dimpled voids at their tops. The vessels are mirror-finished from the inside, giving them their distinct metallic reflective surface. Intentionally off-center, each echo evokes its handblown origins.
SKLO Bottle Vessel Steel Blue - SkLO bottles are expressive vertically proportioned vessels. The necks are double-dipped, and the mouths broken hot from the glass blower’s pipe and fire polished. The bottoms have a slight indent detail, a reference to classic glass bottle design. Handblown, no two exactly alike.
SKLO Bottle Vessel Olivin - SkLO bottles are expressive vertically proportioned vessels. The necks are double-dipped, and the mouths broken hot from the glass blower’s pipe and fire polished. The bottoms have a slight indent detail, a reference to classic glass bottle design. Handblown, no two exactly alike.
SKLO Bottle Vessel Heliotrope - SkLO bottles are expressive vertically proportioned vessels. The necks are double-dipped, and the mouths broken hot from the glass blower’s pipe and fire polished.
