Rest

The Rest Pendants introduce marble as a material into the design language of the SkLO Light Collection for the first time. With simple gravity, beveled shapes of richly colored frosted glass "rest" securely over conical shaped Carrara marble pendants. The softness of the frosted glass contrasts beautifully against the honed stone. The deep colors of the glass against the neutral palette of the veined marble is striking. The angular forms of the Rest Pendants are timeless and elegant. 

The Rest Pendants are available in three shapes and three glass colorways and four brass hardware finishes.

Pillow

Curving, concave forms of frosted glass contain smaller smooth glass shapes that are lit and nestled within. The contrasting colorways available for both the outer frosted glass elements and inner smooth glass lit elements allow for the kind of endless color combinations that SkLO lighting is known for. The new Pillow Series includes pendants as well as wall sconces, and flush ceiling designs in multiple sizes. The Pillow Pendants are round in form and are available in two sizes, while the Pillow Sconce & Ceiling fixtures are oval in form and are available in three sizes. 

The Pillow Series glass colorways include three frosted glass colors for the outer glass element and three glass colors for the smooth lit inner glass element. The Pillow Pendant is available in two sizes and four brass hardware finishes, and the Pillow Sconce / Ceiling is available in three sizes and four brass hardware finishes.

Peak

Lit shapes of handblown glass and cones of brushed brass combine in different proportions, shapes, and geometries to create chandeliers, pendants, sconces, and ceiling fixture designs that are all new for the SkLO Light Collection. In the Peak Chandeliers, imposing cones of brushed brass shelter spherical glass diffusers in a row around the circumference. In the Peak Pendants, single glass diffusers are suspended beneath a small brushed brass cone, which can be oriented in either the up or down position, allowing for compelling compositions of multiple pendants. The sconce/ceiling fixtures present a lit glass diffuser elegantly on the tip of a small brushed brass cone for a look that is classic, but with all the possibilities of SkLO.

The Peak Series is available in nine glass colors including the new four textured glass colors. The Peak Chandeliers are available in three sizes. The Peak Pendant and Peak Sconce/Ceiling is available with two glass shapes - the standard SkLO 4 1/2"/110mm sphere AND the new 6"/150mm ellipsoid. The Peak series brass hardware is available in brushed brass living finish only.

Textured Glass and Ellipsoid Shape Diffusers

For 2024 SkLO is adding two deceptively simple introductions that create large expansions of the Light Collection. The first is a new textured glass finish - available in Textured Clear, Textured Neutral Gray, Textured Steel Blue, and Textured Whiskey - and the second is a new ellipsoid diffuser shape. Both introductions are now available as standard options for many of the series in the Light Collection such as the Drape series, the Stem series and the new Peak series.

The new textured glass options have a very different look from the current smooth "dipped" glass diffusers that feature the fire-polished 'mouth'. The new diffusers have no opening and the frosted finish completely transforms glass, giving it a mysterious, moody appearance and changing the way the glass interacts with light. The look allows for reinterpretations of every design in the Light Collection that features them, expanding applications in interiors from contemporary to traditional. "When used on many of our existing designs, these new textured glass diffusers will take things in a whole new direction," says Paul Pavlak, Partner and Lead Designer. "It is like making a new design out of almost every design in our Light Collection!"

Making Of 

"We have wanted to find a way to give many of the designs in our Light Collection another expression. The 'texture' for our new diffusers is a combination of frosted glass finish, and also a glassblowing technique which subtly sculpts ridges into the glass. These new diffusers have no open 'mouth' like our other diffuser design, and the textured finish adds a different element of decoration to the design without sacrificing the simplicity. The basic glassblowing technique to achieve this texture is not a new one, but after much experimentation, we arrived at a version that is definitely our own."
