Philadelphia-based artist and designer John Pomp has spent the last the 25 years honing the art of glass, learning his trade from Murano maestros. This expertise is all too evident in his studio’s latest five-piece launch, which includes the Eclipse Pendant. Its soft-lined, cloud-like form emits a glow that deftly conceals its light source and evokes the rare and fleeting event of a lunar eclipse. The new collections also feature the intricately sculptural Tidal and Calla Chandeliers alongside the undulating Calla Pendant and dramatically contoured Tidal Console. John Pomp Studios fashion contemporary, handcrafted furniture and lighting in four key materials: glass, precious metals, woods and leathers. These ‘seductive’ ingredients are combined with traditional production techniques to create thoroughly modern and ‘nouveau classic’ pieces. Pomp’s deep philosophy and distinctive approach to materials also turned heads at this year’s Wallpaper* Handmade with the delicate Rose Quartz ‘Molten Love’ ring developed with interior designer, Amy Lau
