Bellhop Glass

From portable to glass

Over the past eight years, Bellhop has evolved into a series of successful products. Originally designed for the Design Museum restaurant, the lamp was initially created to bounce light off surfaces. Bellhop Glass marks a significant shift—not just in scale but in materials as well. Glass and metal have replaced plastic, allowing the entire product to emit a soft, uniform glow instead of reflecting light off its surface.

Dual light emission

The Suspension model is unique in its dual functionality, providing both ambient and task lighting. It delivers focused, non-blinding light directly to the surface below.

A carefully designed bottom aperture prevents glare, ensuring visual comfort for those seated nearby.

Special glass for a special light

In collaboration with the Flos R&D Department, a custom triplex opaline glass diffuser was developed. Three layers of glass—clear, white, and another clear—are mouth-blown simultaneously, with varying thicknesses for each. Afterward, the diffuser undergoes a 24-hour cooling process in a kiln, which starts at around 800 degrees.

A model to suit any space

The Bellhop Glass family features table, ceiling and suspension models, offering versatile lighting solutions for a wide range of interiors, with each version bringing an elegant presence to the space. This expanded family allows the signature Bellhop design to adapt effortlessly to different settings and needs, from intimate corners to more functional compositions.
