OutoftheOrdinary Sophistication Lightolier Introduces the Vetro Pendant Series of Decorative Lighting



Lightolier, the leader in interior lighting for over a century, has unveiled Vetro, a family of clean architectural lighting pendants that can be either ceiling or wall mounted. The primary Vetro design elements involve opal hand-blown, triplex glass, machined aluminum housings and no visible fasteners.

The series includes eleven distinct forms that incorporate the primary design elements as well as variations that encase the fixtures in a layer of clear, polished glass. The primary fixture diffuses light evenly along the length of the glass, while the outer layer generates a subtle glow and occasionally displays reflections if the pendants are used in clusters or rows. The interplay of the two separate layers of glass creates a source of ambient illumination that varies depending on where the light is placed, as well as the angle at which it is viewed.

Through its use of contrasting elements, the Vetro Pendant series offers designers a wide array of options. "The appreciation of the fixture will lie in its understated minimalism," says Rick Meyer, Lightolier General Manager for Architectural Decorative. "Depending on the space and the design, the fixtures are compelling enough to be used as feature pieces, but they will also work in harmony to be displayed in 2- or 3-dimensional arrays. Due to the clean lines, gentle proportions, and simple use of materials, the Vetro Luminaries will blend into a space that features minimal design elements, without clashing with more robust design features."

In addition, the Vetro family offers an ADA compliant wall mount fixture designed to match and enhance the suspended pendants, allowing designers to create a consistent look.
