Inspired by famous Finnish architect and designer Alvar Aalto, this sparkling collection reflects Mr. Aalto's tenet of 'Gesamtkunstwerk', or a total work of art. Intriguing geometric blown glass shades nod simultaneously to vintage and modern style.
Pair Aalto blown glass with a selection of chandelier styles for a mid-century inspired look or showcase their captivating intrigue in linear suspensions, pendants, multi-ports and sconces. Aalto fixtures are offered in a choice of four glass colors and eight finishes.
In an era of mass production and foreign sourcing, Hammerton stands alone. Unlike the majority of our industry peers, we design and handcraft our fixtures entirely in North America. We also source raw materials domestically.
Most importantly, all product design, engineering and manufacturing takes place at Hammerton, so we maintain end-to-end control of all operational activities involved in servicing our customers. This enables us to produce fixtures of unparalleled quality as well as faster turnarounds, superior service, exceptional value and ultimately a very happy customer.
Hammerton is known for pushing the boundaries of lighting design. This requires continuously evolving our palette of design elements - material, shape, form, composition, color, texture and space. To do this, we've developed deep expertise in many materials as well as a wide range of fabrication tools and technologies. Seamless integration of these capabilities is the 'secret sauce' that drives our design leadership.
Time-honored skills like blacksmithing, metal sculpting and texturing bring hand-hewn aesthetic detail to traditional and organic fixtures, while high-precision machining and cutting technologies facilitate the clean lines, geometric forms and polished surfaces of more contemporary designs, as well as higher quality and lower cost.
Over the past decade we've developed deep in-house capabilities in blown, kiln-fused and cast artisan glass. As a design material, glass provides a limitless platform for innovation because it combines light, form, color and texture in a single medium. It's also ideally suited to today's interiors.
Most Hammerton Studio products incorporate blown, kiln-fused or cast artisan glass in shades, lenses, diffusers and decorative elements. many of our glass designs were conceived in conjunction with custom work we've done for leading interior designers, and they are unique to Hammerton.
With deep expertise at the intersection of metal and glass fabrication, Hammerton is laying the foundation for a new era in lighting innovation.
