Handblown Glass Pendant Lighting | Designed in Australia
Marea (pronounced mah-RAY-ah) is the Italian word for "tide", reflecting the flowing forms, shifting light and natural movement that inspired this collection.
Designed by Contemporary Co and individually handcrafted in South Australia by Australian glass artist Llewelyn Ash, the Marea Collection transforms the beauty of water into sculptural handblown glass pendant lighting for contemporary homes and commercial interiors.
Every Marea pendant is individually mouth-blown using traditional glassblowing techniques. Rather than being mass-produced, each piece develops its own subtle movement, tiny air bubbles, delicate striations and flowing form during the making process. These natural variations are celebrated as the signature of genuine handcrafted Australian glass, ensuring every pendant is completely unique.
Whether suspended above a kitchen island, dining table, staircase void or within a hospitality or commercial project, Marea creates a timeless focal point that combines exceptional craftsmanship with contemporary Australian design.
Handcrafted Australian Glass
Every Marea pendant is individually handcrafted by Australian glass artist Llewelyn Ash using traditional glassblowing techniques refined over many years.
Because every shade is made by hand, no two pendants are ever exactly alike. Slight variations in colour, movement, tiny air bubbles and organic markings are a natural part of the glassblowing process and are embraced as part of the beauty and authenticity of handcrafted glass.
When ordering multiple pendants, every care is taken to ensure each piece complements the next while preserving the individuality that makes handcrafted Australian glass so special.
