Disc Hammered Brass: How Hammered Glass Transforms Light into a Vibrant Experience

What happens to light when it passes through hammered glass – and why it makes all the difference

Not all glass is created equal. A smooth, clear glass body transmits light directly and evenly – beautiful, but predictable. A hand-hammered glass, however, does something else: It refracts the light into dozens of small facets, scattering it unevenly and thereby creating a light image that lives and moves with the flame. This difference is not marginal – it is at the core of what sets the Disc Hammered Brass oil lamp apart from all others. Anyone specifically looking to buy a hand-hammered disc-format oil lamp with tactile glass structure in Switzerland will find an object here that turns light into an experience.

What makes the Disc Hammered Brass special?

The Disc Hammered Brass is unique in its combination of form and texture. The flat, expressive disc silhouette – wide, low, with a strong horizontal presence – is refined by a hand-hammered glass surface, which gives each piece a distinctive, tactile texture. No two glasses are identical: the hammer blows leave slightly different patterns each time, every dent and every raised area refracts the light in its own way. The result is a sculptural disc oil lamp with hammered texture and brass wick holder that acts as a sculpture on the table or sideboard even when unlit. The elegant brass wick holder emphasizes the craftsmanship and connects the hammered glass with a warm gold tone that adds depth and elegance to the overall appearance. Like all oil lamps in this range, it burns with a durable fiberglass wick – odorless, smokeless, soot-free – and combined with PureFlame paraffin oil, it creates a lighting experience that remains constant for hours.

The main advantages

• Unique light refraction effect: The hammered texture of the glass refracts the flame's light into hundreds of small points and rays of light, enlivening the room in a way that no smooth glass body can achieve. A craft glass oil lamp with hammering for a unique light refraction effect in Switzerland is therefore much more than a light source – it is a small light installation.
• Each piece is unique: Hand-hammered glass is, by definition, individual. The slightly varying hammer patterns from piece to piece make each Disc Hammered Brass an original – a value that is becoming rarer and therefore more valuable in a world of industrially produced mass goods.
• Sculptural effect even without a flame: The combination of a flat disc silhouette and a structured glass surface makes the lamp a home object that works even without a flame. As a transparent oil lamp with a hammered glass surface as a table centerpiece in Männedorf and Stäfa, it catches the eye – by day through its texture, by night through its light.
• Available in two sizes: In size M (CHF 36) and L (CHF 42), the Disc Hammered Brass can be ideally combined: two same sizes side by side for symmetry, or M and L for a lively, asymmetrical ensemble that enlivens the table with rhythm and depth.

Who is the Disc Hammered Brass suitable for?

This oil lamp is the first choice for anyone who values craftsmanship, uniqueness, and sensory quality in home objects. It is particularly popular with those looking for an exclusive disc oil lamp in a handcrafted style as an atmospheric home gift for Swiss interiors – whether as a personal enrichment for their own table or as a thoughtful gift for people with a strong sense of object quality. The Disc Hammered Brass also brings a new lighting experience to an existing oil lamp collection – rougher, more organic, more vibrant than its smooth counterpart.
