Battuto Glass Range
The Battuto Glass Range by Artemide features spherical diffusers crafted from double-layered artistic glass, handmade using a traditional mould-blowing technique and finished with meticulous grinding. The surface employs the Murano art form of battuto glass, characterised by a textured, beaten pattern that softly scatters light and reduces glare.
Founded in Italy in 1960, Artemide is internationally recognised for its focus on design research, innovation, and high-quality manufacturing. The Battuto Glass Range reflects the brand’s commitment to material exploration and refined light control, combining traditional glassmaking techniques with contemporary lighting design.

2026 Lighting Buyers Guide
In 2026, lighting has evolved beyond pure function to become the defining "jewellery" of the home — with tactility, sculptural form, and emotional well-being at the forefront of design thinking. Our expert team's 2026 Lighting Buyers Guide covers the key trends, materials, and technical considerations to help you make confident choices for every room.
This year's dominant aesthetic is "Functional Art" — pieces that serve as striking focal points even when switched off. Standout movements include hand-blown organic glassware with wabi-sabi imperfections, a Mid-Century Modern revival with living brass finishes, bold Brutalist forms, and a growing celebration of local Australian design. Leading materials include aged brass, natural fibres like rattan, and translucent alabaster and stone.
Room by room, the guide recommends a layered lighting approach, with expert advice spanning kitchen linears, bedroom warmth, exterior accent lighting, and the technical essentials — smart integration, CRI ratings, and flexible track systems.
