The use of glass in light fixtures has been popular for so long that it’s barely worth mentioning as a ‘trend.’ However, add a new wrinkle to the glass and you experience a whole different level of design ingenuity. The designers at Hudson Valley Lighting and Corbett Lighting have each introduced products that make use of innovative glass-blowing techniques to produce fixtures of extraordinary beauty. Here are a few of their newest offerings for your editorial consideration:
