Description
Rose’s story
These mould-pressed glass cylinders were sleeping in a 1940s bourgeois Lisbon home, whose window frames were still lined with Lioz stone. A lady wanted to get rid of them — we immediately understood that these glasses, with their dense and precise geometric patterns, deserved a second life.
Back in our Lisbon workshop, we mounted each cylinder onto a fine gold brass stem and a Lioz stone base — that same cream limestone that adorns the most iconic monuments of Lisbon. And so Rose was born, the most slender and architectural piece in our collection.
Good to know: our glass shades are either sourced or faithfully re-edited. For sourced pieces, slight imperfections or marks may sometimes be visible — small chips or minor irregularities. These are part of the history and authenticity of each piece, and are of course mentioned in the description.
Lioz stone, Lisbon’s signature material
Lioz stone is a cream limestone with golden hues, quarried for centuries in the Lisbon region. It can be found in the palaces, churches and pavements of the Portuguese capital. By choosing Rose, you bring home a fragment of this unique heritage — a noble material, steeped in history, that ages with incomparable elegance.
