Lladró works in collaboration with [Nichetto Studio](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cube-collection) to create the new Soft Blown lighting collection that boasts a whimsical design language and celebrates balloon art. The capsule is made up of the Airbloom table lamp and the Afloat suspension lamp.

The design studio taps into Lladró's expertise working with porcelain when it comes to lighting and pushes the boundaries of the. medium together. The components are [hand-blown and shaped like an oval](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-glow-light) complete with several textures that come together to form two quirky looks -- each of these come in three colorway options. The table lamps have a white globe shape inside of a clear porcelain with a woven finish and the Float features a central stem with [six bulbous modules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bloome).
