Waterworks, the American kitchen and bath company long associated with elevated design and heritage craftsmanship, introduces a distinctive new speciality lighting collection that is as artful as it is illuminating. Created in close collaboration with the brand’s longstanding artisan partners in Italy, the collection draws on centuries-old techniques to transform handblown Murano glass, luminous alabaster, and pristine marble into sculptural light fixtures.

Each piece is meticulously handcrafted, balancing historic craftsmanship with modern design expression. The result is a series of functional works of art—sculptural centrepieces you can build a room around, each one a bold statement of form, material, and light.

“This launch marks an exciting new chapter for Waterworks—one where lighting takes its place alongside our core offerings.” said Peter Sallick, CEO and Creative Director of Waterworks.

“Working with extraordinary Italian materials like handblown Murano glass, carved alabaster, and marble, we've created light fixtures that feels architectural, sculptural, and deeply refined. It’s a natural extension of our commitment to quality and thoughtful design in every detail.”

The 5 nuanced collections include:

Camilla: Honours the ancient art of Murano glassblowing through distinctive surface treatments. From chunky bubbles to textured elements, each design delivers soft, ambient illumination.

Lucia: Showcases two artisanal techniques — gracefully offset ovals of crystalline glass or a precisely faceted battuto treatment. Each piece is treated with traditional etching techniques to displays subtle undulations and striations to create looks of contemporary refinement.

Simona: Handmade from strikingly thick slabs of gleaming Murano glass, each fixture is rich in naturally occurring undulations and surface movement that create dramatic visual impact.

Enzo: Italian artisans transform raw marble or alabaster into precisely curved frameworks using traditional hand-sculpting techniques to deliver a functional glow that highlight’s the stone’s organic beauty.
