Afloat Chandelier (All Photos by Gail)

On the hunt for the “oh wow” moment of the recent BDNY design show at Javits Center, I knew I had found the star of the show when I entered the booth for Lladró; a legendary company now in its 70th year. Introducing a captivating fusion of artistic elegance and functional brilliance, Lladró breaks-free from its traditional identity as a renowned creator of collectible porcelain figurines to unveil Soft Blown, a groundbreaking venture into the realm of interior lighting.


Airbloom Table Lamps

In a surprising and exhilarating departure from the cherished memories of delicate porcelain pieces that  fill curio cabinets, Lladró now invites you to witness the enchanting allure of their new line, Soft Blown. Enter a world where blown glass chandeliers, tabletop, wall, and floor lamps seamlessly blend artistry with functionality, marking a visionary evolution for a brand synonymous with timeless craftsmanship. Through Lladró’s latest creation, the delicate beauty of their porcelain heritage converges with the luminous artistry of contemporary lighting, redefining the boundaries of sophistication in home décor.

The Soft Blown collection is the result of a collaboration between Lladró and Nichetto Studio. In this collection, the Airbloom table lamp and the Afloat chandelier stand out as protagonists. Through these pieces, the creativity of the studio, led by Luca Nichetto, and the diversity of colors achievable with porcelain are reflected.

Nichetto Studio draws inspiration from the season of summer and buoyancy of balloons to explore geometry and create an environment characterized by soft and warm light. This lighting is perfect for establishing a relaxed and artistic ambiance. Discover the pieces from the Soft Blown collection and enjoy highly functional works of art. Shop Soft Blown at This Link.
