Brass and glass combined in one piece always look impressive, and Brooklyn-based designer Bec Brittain knows it. She decided to combine these materials and add playful, geometric shapes and the result is Vise light, a hand-blown, double-fade glass globe that mimics a sunset and situates it within a brass, claw-like structure. The fixture, named after Vise-Grip pliers, with its streamlined, open-volume shape, falls right in line with her expanding portfolio of sculptural lights. I love the ombre colors of the lamp, they are so tender that the whole piece reminds of a precious stone in the setting.
