Shakuff designs the Kadur Drizzle orb pendant lights. The design concept aims to install the sense the viewer is "inside a snowglobe filled with soft rain," as the brand explains. Delicately hung from a circular platform, the pendants cluster together at varying heights. They are made of glass and feature a subtle drizzle pattern for the desired effect. Molten pyrex glass makes this possible.
Glassblowers create the Kadur Drizzle lights by using a straw to blow the molten pyrex glass into an already shaped long oval. Then, hair-like strands of melted glass are created inside the orb using tweezers to create a pattern reminiscent of dripping water. The result is a three-dimensional piece that stands out in any room.
