Campana — a flared bell of soldered glass, set in a lattice of brass. Dozens of individual panes of pale glass are cut, fitted and soldered into brass channels by hand, using the same technique as a leaded-glass window. The result is a pendant with a gently flaring, trumpet-like silhouette and a fine grid of warm metal lines that follows its curve from the crown to the wide rim.
Lit, every pane glows a soft cream and the brass lattice draws a delicate grid of shadow across the glass, so the shade looks almost like a lantern from an old conservatory. Off, it is a quietly handsome object in pale glass and gold. Either way, it brings the warmth and handmade character of traditional craft into a clean, modern shape.
Why it is worth the ceiling
-
Hand-soldered glass. Each pane is fitted and soldered into brass channels by hand — a slow, traditional technique you will not find on mass-produced pendants. Small variations in the seams are part of its character.
-
Brass lattice. Brass channels frame every pane, giving the shade its fine gold grid and a warm finish that pairs with wood, stone and linen.
-
Soft, diffused light. The pale glass spreads light evenly downward and outward, so it lights a dining table or desk without glare, while the shade itself glows.
-
Generous scale. At 19.7" across, it is substantial enough to anchor a dining table or a room on its own.
-
Standard bulb, included. Takes a standard medium-base bulb, so you can choose your brightness and warmth. Ships with a warm-white bulb.
Where it belongs
Hang a single Campana over a round or square dining table seating four to six, in a study above a desk or reading chair, or in a bedroom as a soft central light. A pair over a longer table or a kitchen island also works well, spaced about 30 inches apart.

A note on handmade glass: because each shade is cut and soldered by hand, the solder lines, glass tone and fit vary slightly from piece to piece and from the photographs. These are marks of the craft, not defects.
Frequently asked questions
How is the shade made?
Individual glass panes are cut to shape, fitted into brass channels and joined with solder by hand, much like a traditional leaded-glass window or lantern.
What size dining table does it suit?
At 19.7" across, a single Campana suits a round table of about 36–54" or a square table seating four. For a longer rectangular table or an island, hang two.
How high should I hang it?
Hang the rim about 30–34 inches above a dining table or desk. In a room without a table beneath, keep the rim at least 7 feet above the floor.
What bulb does it take?
A standard E26/E27 medium-base bulb, and one warm-white bulb is included. For the best glow through the glass, use a warm 2700–3000K bulb. It is dimmable if you use a dimmable bulb with a compatible wall dimmer.
How do I clean it?
With the light off and cool, dust the glass and brass with a soft, dry cloth. If needed, wipe the glass with a slightly damp cloth, avoiding abrasive cleaners and metal polish.
