Hobo is a unique pendant made by blowing opaque glass into a brass cage designed by Gustaf Nordenskiöld.
The name refers to the old handicraft ”luffarslöjd”, metalcrafts made by Hobos in Småland, where Swedish glassworks began. Hobos used to sleep in the heat of the furnaces in the hot glass studios, making wayward objects in bent metal wire. Hobo is a real interplay between the materials and a clear proof of true craftsmanship. Since the brass cage only partially controls the glass, every lamp is a unique piece. It all depends on how much air is blown into the glass during production. A certain moment is captured and each and every one is unique. Hobo is characterized by its weight and its details, both highlighted by visible bolts and heavy ropes.
