The Virginia Globe combines a substantial seven-sided brass frame with softened curves, enclosing glass panels that echo the movement of the sea. At the heart of the Virginia Globe lies a bold seven-sided framework, crafted in solid brass with softened curves to balance its architectural presence. Each panel is framed with precision, housing glass that can be specified in any of the four glass offerings, the surface texture of which captures the gentle ripples of the sea. The intricate ceiling rose draws from Georgian design influences, while the sculpted finials take inspiration from the wildflowers found along the Sussex coastline. The banded form of the piece recalls the silhouette of the nearby Belle Tout lighthouse, grounding its contemporary elegance in a sense of place. Handcrafted by our skilled makers, the Virginia Globe can be specified with either a reeded brass rod or chain, and finished in any of our signature metal finishes as well as four new glass offerings: Clear Ripple, Clear Reeded, Moss and Blush. Inspired by Virigina Woolfe, a pioneering author and key figure in modernist literature, she had close connections to the Sussex coast, particularly in her Sussex home retreats. The Virginia Globe light reflects her innovative spirit through its elegant, elongated globe shape – a nod to the expansiveness of her imagination and the contemplative spaces she created in her writing. Its vertical form suggests a sense of introspection and literary depth.
