Lamps with a shade in the form of a glass ball - why they are so popular and where their magic comes from

Already Greek thinkers were of the opinion that a sphere is the most perfect of all shapes found in nature. The shape is that of grains of sand, pearls or the sun. It is also a shape that is said to be a symbol of integrity, purity and perfection, as well as a symbolic victory over the force of gravity. The Egyptians, on the other hand, believed that the shape of the sphere sent friendly waves and positive energy to humans.

So it is hardly surprising that both architects and designers, for years, have been using the magnetic power and complex symbolism of the sphere to convey various contents, values and ideas through its shape in their projects.

The sphere as a geometric form has thus become a timeless shape, which every year - in one setting or another and in a different style - appears in interior trends, not bypassing the world of lamps either. After all, sphere pendant lamps enjoy unflagging popularity, not only among designers, but especially among interior users, who find it hard to resist their unquestionable charm.

As we have already mentioned, the sphere is considered the ideal shape. At the same time, it is a solid that combines the smallest surface area with the largest volume, thus offering a minimum of form with a maximum of content.

Isn't that exactly the dream of every minimalist? Convey as much meaning and arouse as much emotion as possible, with as little matter as possible. If we add to this glass - one of the favorite materials of lovers of this style, we can safely say that the glass spheres are a design that embodies the idea of minimalism in interiors.
