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.
The Twin 2.0 Sconce/Ceiling features a two-tone diffuser of handblown Czech glass made up of two flattened spherical shapes in two colors which are melded together while hot on the glass blowing pipe. The glass is held to a solid brass canopy by a brass band that sits between the two spheres. Each sphere is lit from within by its bulb, one in each sphere.
The Twin 1.0 Sconce features a two-tone diffuser of handblown Czech glass made up of two flattened spherical shapes in two colors which are melded together while hot on the glass blowing pipe. The glass is held to a solid brass plate canopy by a brass band that sits between the two spheres. Each sphere is lit from within by its bulb, one in each sphere. The Twin 1.0 sconce is designed to meet ADA requirements in the USA for commercial use in public spaces by always measuring less than 4” total depth from a wall surface. For wall mount only.
Our signature SkLO Large Wrap, a continuous wound length of a handblown Czech glass tube, is transformed into a dynamic table light. The brass light socket has an integral handmade brass hook that allows it to attach to the glass wrap, suspending the bulb within. Each wrap is unique, no two exactly alike.
The Twice Light consists of two lit spheres of hand-crafted Czech glass connected by a cylindrical brass armature. Two different diameter spheres make for an asymmetrical light. A brass ring is included with the light and used under the larger sphere to stabilize the light.
The Stem 2X Table Light is a minimal design consisting of a pair of lit spheres of handblown Czech glass on a symmetrical armature atop a brass stem and base.
