The Brass Bell suspension light draws one’s attention, first and formeost, with the golden brass finish of the borosilicate glass shade. Borosilicate glass, having a low coefficient of thermal expansion, is less sensitive to temperature shocks. After copper, it is now the turn of brass to make a comeback in the world of interiors. A warm alliance of copper and zinc, brass is the only metal capable of imitating gold. It is noted for its colour, which varies from pink to yellow, depending on the variable proportions of copper and zinc in its make-up. When unlit, the shade is golden brass in appearance. When illuminated, the brass-coated glass becomes transparent, with the bulb becoming visible in a surprising hologram effect.
