Stained Glass and Steel Interior Lamps
Besides blacksmithing, we work with glass, copper and stone, and these lamps bring all of it together. Most of them are birds made from hundreds of pieces of coloured glass, joined with copper foil and solder just like a traditional stained glass window.
LEDs inside the birds fill the room with coloured light. The bases are forged steel tree stumps and branches, often with stone, copper leaves or glass grapes.
Our stained glass lamps
Lamps made of the noblest materials
We make these lamps in many sizes, from small parrots to standing lamps about 2 m (6.5 ft) tall. We also make wrought iron floor lamps with traditional stained glass shades in the Tiffany style. You can see them in our showroom.
Our standing interior lamps have unique designs, and every project is thought through to be as exceptional as possible. We make large floor lamps as well as desk lamps, and for some lamps we also make dedicated side tables. To achieve the best effect we use a wide range of materials: forged steel, stained glass, stone, minerals, precious and semi-precious stones, and non-ferrous metals such as copper, brass and bronze, combined so that each lamp is truly one of a kind.
We make interior lamps from our own designs, some of which are shown here, and from designs supplied by clients, and on request we design them from scratch; a description of what you would like is enough, because we can achieve any shape in any material. Our lamps are the opposite of mass-produced store lamps: they are works of art for people who want something exceptional and personal in their home.
A centrepiece for a living room or a hotel lobby
A stained glass bird lamp is never just a light. Standing in a living room, a library or a hotel lobby it becomes the piece guests remember, glowing with colour in the evening and showing the craftsmanship of the forged base by day. We can make a matching pair, or a set of birds on one branch for a larger space.
Stained glass lamp FAQ
How are the stained glass birds made?
Each piece of glass is cut, ground, wrapped in copper foil and soldered to its neighbours, hundreds of times over. A single bird takes hundreds of hours of work.
Can you make a different bird or animal?
Yes, any bird or animal can be made in glass and steel, in the colours you choose. See also our peacock sculpture in steel, copper and glass.
Do the stained glass lamps get hot?
No. The birds are lit from inside by LEDs, which stay cool, so the glass and the copper foil are not affected by heat and the lamp can stay on for hours.
Can a lamp be made as a personal gift?
Yes. We can portray a favourite bird or animal, use colours with a special meaning or add an engraved plate to the base, so the lamp becomes a one-of-a-kind present.
