Vetro

Chelsom introduced Vetro as a hero ceiling light, made of slender disks in Brushed Brass and sculpted glass. Each facet of the glass catches the light. Chelsom offers it as a trio of disks or as individual drops, with matching wall lights, and designed it for hospitality and marine interiors.

At Faura, two Vetro pendants hang in the office reception, with Vetro wall lights in the reception and the main office. Faura confirms current availability and finishes with Chelsom for each project.

Design and manufacturing

Chelsom's standard products are designed in-house, with design, sourcing, technical, CAD and manufacturing staff involved in each one. Its UK production facility in the North of England works with local sub-contractors, and Chelsom uses the official Made in Britain mark to identify its UK-made products. It also works with audited factories and artisan makers in Europe and Asia, and sources glass from the Veneto region of northern Italy.

Chelsom's LED EYE reading light received a Red Dot Award for product design, and the company has won two Queen's Awards for Enterprise in International Trade.
