Luceplan GlassGlass Suspension Lamp

With GlassGlass, thanks to its versatility, lighting scenarios and different atmospheres can be created to match everyday situations. The blown glass diffuser bodies are originals because, although made within a modern cycle of serial production, the ancient blowing process craft is maintained, as it was in Syria and later in the Roman Empire in 100 BC. The light can be clamped both to the ceiling and to the wall. The attachment rosette comprises a rigid arm and, in the case of wall installations, it allows the diffuser to be distanced from the wall. The electric cable is a bearing element because it runs along a steel mesh sheath. This can bear heavy weights, the ends of which are fixed to the rosette and to the terminal diffuser ring support. The system of the ring with handle, fixed to the mouth of the glass, and easily hooked onto the bearing frame, offers handiness, safety, simple assembly and maintenance previously unthinkable for glass diffusers on that scale. Glassglass makes it possible simply to interchange its glass units chosen from a wide range of forms, colours and transparencies to satisfy the most diverse and personal needs.

Paolo Rizzatto

Italy, 1941

Paolo Rizzatto was born in 1941 in Milan, Italy, where he studied architecture at the Milan Polytechnic. In 1968 he opened his own studio and worked on lighting, architectural and interior design projects. In 1978 he founded Luceplan together with Riccardo Sarfatti. With the 265 Lamp collection, Rizzato’s work was recognized internationally.

This collection would be followed by the Berenice Table Lamps and the Titania Hanging Lamps, which are reminiscent of floating submarines (both created in collaboration with Alberto Meda and produced by Luceplan). The Costanza series of lighting represents his work at its best, ethereal and uncluttered.

Over the years Rizzatto has received many important national and international awards for design, including three Compasso d’oro Awards, 1981, 1989 and 1994. His creations are part of the permanent collections of museums such as the Wave Hill Museum Centre for Environmental Studies, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the National Museum of Science and Technology in Milan.
