Explore the Art of Glass This Autumn with Cassina

Linde Freya Tangelder’s sculptural touch defines Cassina’s new Fluid Joinery Light, now arriving in Dubai stores. A poetic object in which material and light are expressed as a single gesture, the lamp transforms mouth-blown glass into a lens that modulates its glow, creating a visual harmony that gently envelops the space.

Poised between sculptural solidity and luminous transparency, Fluid Joinery Light reinterprets the Fluid Joinery Side Table – I, presented in 2025. It preserves the original’s formal essence while transforming it into a striking lighting piece. The proportions are scaled down and the volume becomes a source of light, with smooth, organic curves remaining central to the design.

Like the side tables, Fluid Joinery Light is the result of complex, highly refined craftsmanship. The lamp is produced from a single volume of glass, mouth-blown into a cast iron mould and hand-finished. The technique is even more sophisticated for the lamp, using three layers of cased glass: transparent, opal white and tinted transparent. Together, these layers diffuse the light to create a tactile and evocative aesthetic, intensified by the Fumé green and Bronze yellow tones. Subtle engraved grooves punctuate the surface, suggesting the fusion of multiple elements into a single, continuous form.

Cassina’s collaboration with Linde Freya Tangelder began in 2022 through its Patronage programme, supporting emerging international design talent. This partnership was celebrated in April 2026 with “Fluid Re-Collection” at 10 Corso Como in Milan, the designer’s first solo exhibition in Italy, supported by Cassina. The exhibition explored the relationship between her handcrafted limited editions and her designs for Cassina, including Fluid Joinery Light, which now arrives at the brand’s Jumeirah showroom in Dubai.
