Known for it's unique design vision and distinctive style combining artistic expression with functionality, Longobard is in  a class by itself. Greatly influenced by the culture of Germanic inhabitants who populated the Verona region around 600-700 A.D., their 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 these modern and exemplary of the emerging Brutalist movement of the early 70's. 
 
This pair of Blue and Amethyst hammered Murano glass sconses highlight's the Longobard guiding principle that lighting designs be visually stunning and practical, an approach that not only illuminated spaces but enhanced their aesthetic appeal as well. These and several other Longobard lighting creations are now available at Venfield's NYC showroom. Italy, 1970's.
