Palisade was designed to showcase its spectacular glass. Palisade's diffuser consists of more than one hundred free-form hand-cut pieces of crystal clear glass. Fusing them together creates subtle vertical ripples on the surface. Charles Loomis Lighting love the rich texture of this glass and how it refracts and reflects light. The finished Sconce, with its thin-striped glass walls, looked like a row of irregular stakes - so I named it Palisade.
