The Design Story
The range runs from Blue Bubble through Moss Bubble. Besa’s signature is the glass. Every shade is made by hand and inspected in Ohio before it leaves the factory, so the small variations you see are the mark of a handmade piece, not a flaw.
Why You’ll Love It
The cables nearly disappear, so the glass seems to float.
