Caleb Siemon Lighting


These pendants above are called "Happy Kiss Lights" by Caleb Siemon and his wife and partner Carmen Salazar. Having studied in Italy under the apprenticeship of renowned glass master Pino Signoretto, Siemon uses Italian-style "sommerso" technique (an edge of clear glass surrounding the coloured portion) in his California studio to create these. I am not generally drawn to blown glass but I have seen these used to add a pinch of colour to more contemporary spaces and they do it quite successfully. It seems that more typical items such as vases and bowls are the main focus of his work, but his lights are also very nice.
