Designer Sebastian Herkner’s artisanal blown-glass pendant for Parachilna with a plissé textile diffuser was suggested by a flamenco dancer’s traditional silk shawl, the "Mantón de Manila.” The addition of a fabric layer lends texture and shadow play while it gently filters the illumination. Barcelona-based Parachilna offers Manila in 2 sizes, in either matte gold or graphite electroplated steel with the inner fabric diffuser in beige or grey fabric and the blown glass outer in transparent or blackened transparent glass.
Manila is carefully handcrafted using traditional craftsmanship by Parachilna in Barcelona, Spain.
Though based in Barcelona, Parachilna’s origins actually stretch all the way to its namesake, a desert ghost town in Australia. A random stop there years ago inspired Alfredo Valero and Roman Riera to eventually create a luxury lighting company dedicated to enduring craftsmanship, aided by European metalsmiths, glass blowers, ceramicists and other skilled artisans.
Collaborating with such notable modern designers as Jaime Hayon and Neri & Hu, partner Alfredo explains Parachilna’s purposeful process. “We don’t use industrial techniques,” he says. “Everything revolves craftsmanship, which means that there is a lot of work, from prototyping to finishing. When we say, ‘We don’t like it,’ we start all over again.”
