The finished uplighter
This uplighter grew – almost literally – from one broken piece of glass given to me by a client. She couldn’t find another lamp to fit her base so she asked me to design a new shade around that piece. I cut lots of leafy shapes in frosted and coloured glasses to match her existing decor and built them up on a basin that was about the right size. Each piece was individually foiled and spot soldered together to create the finished uplighter. She was delighted with the unique result.
