2 handblown glass lamps. Corded.

The Eclipse Portable Lamp is inspired by the quiet drama of celestial events—the way light bends, softens, and disappears into shadow during an eclipse. Its rounded form and balanced proportions echo this calm tension between light and dark, brightness and obscurity.

Unlike conventional desk or task lighting, Eclipse is not designed to flood a room with brightness. Instead, it creates a soft, diffused glow that feels atmospheric and intimate. This hand-blown glass lamp is ideal for evenings, reflective moments, and spaces where ambiance matters more than lumens.

Placed on a bedside table, shelf, console, or desk, Eclipse becomes a luminous focal point. It doesn’t shout for attention, but it quietly changes how the room feels. The light softens edges, deepens shadows, and creates an environment that feels more intimate, grounded, and contemplative.

A project by

Andi Kovel/Esque Studio

Andi Kovel’s work redefines glass as an expressive medium, creating evocative forms that transcend functionality. Her style combines experimental form with a refined aesthetic. Her background in design and art theory brings a unique perspective, where she explores the natural tendencies of glass texture, form, and transparency. Starting her career in Brooklyn, Kovel worked with influential artists like Jeff Koons and Robert Rauschenberg, experiences that nurtured her innovative approach.

In 1999, along with Justin Parker, Kovel co-founded ESQUE, leading a movement in contemporary glass that celebrates material exploration and challenges tradition. ESQUE fuses elevated modernism with traditional glass production to create decor, lighting, and functional glasswork.

Kovel graduated from The University of Colorado with a BFA in sculpture and art education and theory from The School of Visual Arts and New York University. Originally from New York, Andi Kovel continues her sculptural practice and design work in Portland, Oregon.
