Founded in 2009, SkLO sits at the vibrant intersection of modern California design and the 13th-century Czech glassblowing tradition. Led by an multidisciplinary team—including an architect, a jeweler, and a Czech glass visionary—the studio creates lighting that celebrates the organic irregularity of hand-blown glass. Today, SkLO delivers sculptural, minimalist fixtures that reveal the unseen beauty of raw materials, providing a profound sense of 'place' for the world’s most curated architectural environments.

SkLO is a brand built on restraint. Based in Northern California and manufactured in the Czech Republic, the studio is dedicated to preserving the historical art of Czech glass—known for its inimitable clarity and vibrant colors. By focusing on the harmony of feeling, function, and form, SkLO achieves the simplest expression of an idea, ensuring that every fixture remains an honest reflection of its materials.
SkLO’s collections are prized by architects for their ability to add a human, tactile element to clean-lined modern spaces:
The Drape Series: This collection utilizes individual "drops" of hand-blown glass suspended from fabric-wrapped cables, allowing designers to create organic, cascading compositions that act as "glass tapestries."
The Float & Hold Series: These designs showcase the Czech ability to hand-blow large, complex shapes. The Hold series, in particular, features glass "slumped" over steel hooks, creating a dramatic visual tension between the heavy glass and its industrial hardware.
The Balance Series: A masterclass in sculptural equilibrium, these pendants use brass armatures to suspend glass spheres in perfect horizontal or vertical alignment, appealing to the technical eye of an architect.
SkLO provides the specialized resources and logistical transparency required for premier building projects:
QuickShip & Reliability: SkLO offers a dedicated "QuickShip" program for many of their most iconic designs, ensuring that luxury lighting does not become a bottleneck for fast-moving development timelines.
Material Integrity: Utilizing high-quality brass finishes and authentic Czech glass, these fixtures are engineered to age gracefully, maintaining the long-term value of the architectural investment.
Collaborative Resources: On your new site, we will integrate SkLO’s professional resources—including CAD files and custom color palettes—directly into the brand page to streamline the specification process for engineers and designers.
