One more link:
"The Glasi, as it is affectionately known, has a history of fascinating craftsmanship spanning over two centuries. Glasi experienced a formative turning point in 1975 when Roberto Niederer took over the glassworks. As a designer, designer and artistic director, he left behind a distinctive signature that continues to shape the Glasi style to this day. Roberto created iconic designs that have remained timeless and are still an integral part of the range. His passion for glass and design laid the foundation for a new era, but his work ended abruptly with his death in 1988.
His son Robert Niederer continued the vision and led the Glasi with great commitment from 1988 onwards. After his death in 2022, at the age of 68, Leandro Niederer followed in his father's footsteps. He had already started working at Glasi in 2015, first as an office clerk and later in the marketing team. In 2020, at just 29 years old, he took over management of the family business – amid a difficult time marked by the sudden loss of his father and entrepreneurial challenges.
Leandro brings not only the same passion for glassmaking as his predecessors, but also a clear vision: to lead the traditional glassworks into the future without losing sight of its roots."

Ugh. That 'ricardo" link is already defunct.
Here's one that hopefully will last (description translated):
"spherical light
Article number: 804
Ø 150 x 230 mm
Nature dictates the most balanced forms! Like an oversized drop, the ball light hangs particularly beautifully behind a window front or as an eye-catcher in the living room. Hang several ball lights and enjoy the fairytale play of light."
