The Semai_Blown Glass Lamp may not be the first of its kind, but it is certainly one of the more interesting designs that adheres to a sort of [bubbling effect](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blow-lamp). Playing with the tradition of [glass blowing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polaris), it introduces a [geometric frame](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polyshape-lamp) that provides a stylish restriction on the application of this time-honored technique.

Designed by Milan-based industrial designer Valerio Sommella in collaboration with Alberto Saggia for Vistosi, the Semai_Blown Glass Lamp is engineered and made in Italy. Constructed using a metal frame and glass, the Semai_Blown Glass Lamp would make a sculptural addition to any domestic or commercial space. In spite of its bulbous form, there is a simplicity to the design that allows it to fit into any setting.
