Holophane glass originally introduced in the late 19th century is unique in style because it pleasantly refracts the light with a diffused glow that evenly distributes the light without glare. The metal fixtures are rugged enough for an industrial environment yet stylish enough for refined public spaces and home decor. Holophane lights have been used in many public buildings including libraries, court houses and museums in addition to warehouse type settings.
