The After Hours Collection brings a moodier new material into the We Ponder world, pairing our signature handblown glass bulb with the cleaner, more architectural feel of stainless steel. Made in collaboration with local metal worker Axel, each stainless steel component is bent and finished with care. We were drawn to the contrast of introducing a more structured material, then shaping it in a way that still feels gentle and distinctly We Ponder. There is something beautiful about the way stainless steel catches and reflects light, both from the bulb itself and from the space around it, and across ceramic, glass and now metal, we are always interested in how harder materials can be softened into pieces that feel warm, tactile and easy to live with.
