Pearls from the depth of the mysterious sea

The Ama Collection visually evokes the delicate shells of mussels that produce treasured pearls. Meticulously cut glass of substantial size encases a pearl in its center in the form of a light source providing soft ambient light.

The name of this collection refers to pearls, specifically the Japanese female pearl divers called Ama. The Ama Collection visually evokes the delicate shells of mussels that produce treasured pearls. Ama is formed by a stylized cut-crystal shell, protecting a light source of LED chips hidden in a round lightbulb with a titanium nitride coating that produces its pearly sheen. Each glass shell is produced by using a special glassmaking technique. Over the course of two days, the glass is heated and gradually melts by its own weight into a prepared conical mold. Ama lighting comes in both opened and closed versions that work beautifully as individual pieces or natural groupings into mussel clusters. Ama collection designed by Václav Mlynář is available in three original colors - smoke, bronze and crystal matte.
