Known for his unique design vision and a distinctive style combining artistic expression with functionality, Longobard was in a class by himself. Greatly influenced by the culture of Germanic inhabitants who populated the Verona region around 600-700 A.D., his creations are something out of the middle ages with their heavy wrought iron frames, hammered glass and occassional mythological motifs. Yet it's this historical craftsmanship and its use of raw materials that makes his designs thoroughly modern and exemplary of the emerging Brutalist movement of the early 70's.
This pair of amethyst and pink hammered Murano glass sconses highlight's Lombardo's guiding principle that lighting designs be visually stunning and practical, an approach that not only illuminated spaces but enhanceed their aesthetic appeal as well. These and several other Longobard lighting creations are now available at Venfield's NYC showroom.
