Ward + Gray, founded by Christie Ward and Staver Gray, has launched a handblown glass lighting collection inspired by Venice and the Lido. They collaborated with a family-run Venetian company. The collection reflects atmospheric and nostalgic influences, with designs like the Capanna lamp evoking cabanas and the Abalone sconce inspired by beach views. The fixtures exhibit a sun-faded appearance, combining sophistication with a relaxed coastal feel. Ward and Gray view their creations as heirloom pieces that collectors will cherish for a long time.
Christie Ward and Staver Gray, founders of Ward + Gray, began developing a line of handblown glass lighting with a family-run company in Venice, aiming for high-quality design.
Inspired by the Lido's coastal style and historic charm, the collection's designs reflect nostalgic scenes from the island, incorporating elements like cabanas and Roman mythology.
The fixtures possess a sun-faded appearance, mirroring the vintage objects Ward and Gray find while traveling, emphasizing a sophisticated yet relaxed aesthetic.
Ward + Gray hope their lighting fixtures become heirloom pieces, appealing to collectors with colorful, patterned, and high-quality handmade designs.
