The ceramic body of their Galileo light is produced using a mould. A rod is then inserted near the base to allow for cabling to pass through. Finally, rough edges are softened using a stone-headed drill bit. Chad’s ceramic supplier is based in Stoke on Trent, a town renowned for its pottery and ceramics heritage.Galileo-small-gunmetal_shade resize
