Home trend for autumn: smoky glass

In the dense fog of home accessories full of different designs, I can clearly see that smoky accessories will be very popular in the coming season.

Current designs for lamps or crockery made of glass appear as if they are surrounded by a light veil. Instead of transparency, designers are focussing on secrets: Light bulbs, for example, are elegantly hidden behind cloudy lampshades, or slowly rotting stems from a bouquet of flowers behind tinted panes.

Of course, glass can become colourful with colour-forming materials. Nevertheless, current designs show that even a light tint instead of complete transparency can have its charm. Let yourself be dazzled by my current favourites from our range.

Restrained decoration

Tealights or flower stems are often less attractive. Behind tinted "discs", they bring flowers to the fore or spread soft light.

A pleasant light

Even with lamps, smoky glass provides a subdued and atmospheric light compared to transparent glass.

Varied table settings

Do you also have transparent glasses? Not so bad, most of us do. You can easily mix up your standard table setting by adding a smoky set. The great thing is that, thanks to their simplicity, they go wonderfully with all styles, just like the transparent version.
