OVA C5 | ROND — Matthew McCormick Studio | Modern Lighting Design

I was a little nervous about glass lighting feeling fragile, but the layered construction is surprisingly sturdy and the spherical round shape sits perfectly on my side table. The diffused, ethereal glow it casts in the evenings is exactly the calm, elegant mood I was after.

The way it diffuses light is unreal—soft and dreamy without being dim. I hung it over the dining table and now every meal feels like a little ceremony. Handmade glass means no two pieces are identical, which I love.

The layered glass is genuinely dimensional when lit, casting this soft, almost weightless light that changed the whole mood of my reading nook. It took me a couple of evenings to appreciate how the shadows play across the ceiling, but now I turn it on before anything else.
