Bolle

The “Baloton” glassmaking technique is what distinguishes the Vistosi Bolle Pendant from other spherical shades, imprinting the surface of the glass with bubbles that alter and pattern the surrounding light. The hand-blown glass is able to retain a perfect round shape as the bubbles are applied, taking on different effects depending on the opacity of the glass. Transparent glass finishes emit a broader range of liquefied shadows against surfaces, while the milky White or Topaz glass act as a more contained source of ambient light.

One of Italy’s most prestigious and prolific names in Murano glassmaking, Vistosi specializes in hand-blown glass lighting fixtures with an expertise that can be traced to the 1500s. Officially incorporated as Vetreria Vistosi in 1989 with the Moretti family, Vistosi continues to invest in new technologies and methods of production compatible with the historical craft, resulting in an extensive collection of highly decorative yet durable lighting designs.
