Iris: Versatile New Cast Glass Lighting
Iris is a refined expression of Hammerton’s material-driven design philosophy. Introduced as part of our new 2026 lighting collections, Iris reflects a return to the fundamentals that define our work: organic materials, thoughtful proportions, and craftsmanship that reveals itself through subtlety. Designed to bring softness and visual clarity to a space, Iris delivers architectural presence without excess—luxurious cast glass lighting that enhances rather than competes.
Designed with Intention
In an era of statement-driven lighting, Iris offers designers a different kind of value: restraint executed with precision. Its quiet confidence lies in balance—between form and material, weight and light, presence and atmosphere. Rather than relying on ornamentation, Iris elevates a space through disciplined geometry and material integrity, making it a dependable choice for interiors that prioritize longevity over trend.
For designers, this restraint translates into flexibility. Iris integrates seamlessly into a wide range of architectural contexts while maintaining a distinct point of view—supporting the overall design narrative rather than dominating it.
Material as the Starting Point
Every decision behind Iris begins with material. The collection features handcrafted recycled crystal cast glass lighting, selected for its density, depth, and ability to interact with light in a nuanced way. Each glass form is individually made by Hammerton artisans, resulting in subtle variations that give every fixture a sense of authenticity and character.
The cast glass carries a visual weight reminiscent of our Glacier collection, yet Iris introduces a softer, more fluid expression. Light is diffused rather than directional, creating a warm, atmospheric glow that enhances spatial experience—particularly valuable in environments where mood is as important as illumination.
Complementing the glass are customizable motif accents in wood, leather, and metal. These options allow designers to align Iris with their broader material palette—introducing contrast, warmth, or cohesion depending on the application. The result is a layered composition that feels intentional and distinctly Hammerton.
Versatility in it’s dna
Iris is offered in multiple glass sizes and configurations, allowing designers to specify with confidence across both residential and commercial projects. Its clean silhouette and detailing scale naturally—from single pendants used as subtle architectural moments to mobile chandeliers that establish rhythm and continuity.
Iris performs particularly well in:
-
Kitchen islands and dining areas where softness and balance are essential
-
Bedrooms and primary suites that call for ambient, calming light
-
Hospitality environments such as boutique hotels, lounges, and restaurants
-
Transitional spaces—entries, corridors, stairwells—where repetition creates cohesion
This versatility makes Iris a valuable solution for designers working across whole-home projects. It supports a consistent design language while responding thoughtfully to scale, function, and context.
Crafted to Endure
Each Iris fixture reflects Hammerton’s commitment to enduring craftsmanship. From the recycled crystal cast glass to our time-honored metalwork and finish techniques, every component is made with longevity in mind. Sustainability is embedded in the collection—not as an afterthought, but as a natural extension of responsible, material-conscious design.
A Lasting Design Asset
Iris is not designed to chase trends. Its strength lies in clarity of form, integrity of material, and the confidence of something made exceptionally. For designers, Iris offers luxurious lighting that adds depth without distraction—enhancing atmosphere, reinforcing architecture, and remaining relevant over time.
This is Iris: purposeful design, material richness, and long-term value.
