SCHWUNG – Designer Lighting Handcrafted in Europe

A creative studio where craftsmanship meets contemporary design

Founded in 2017, Schwung is a creative studio that combines the curiosity of a collector with the skill of a master craftsman. The brand designs and manufactures premium lighting that brings warmth, character and emotion into every interior. Each luminaire is conceived as a timeless object, created to be admired, preserved and passed on through generations, transforming light into a lasting design statement.

Handcrafted lighting made in Europe

Every Schwung lighting fixture is meticulously handcrafted in Europe by skilled artisans working with solid brass and mouth-blown glass. Carefully selected noble materials and exceptional craftsmanship ensure remarkable quality, durability and refined finishes. More than decorative lighting, every piece becomes an enduring object of beauty designed to enrich interiors for decades.

Light as a sculptural design element

For Schwung, light is treated as an artistic material. Elegant brass finishes are paired with opal, marbled or signature Ribbon Glass to create captivating reflections and subtle plays of light. Architectural lines, harmonious proportions and carefully balanced compositions give every luminaire a sculptural presence, whether illuminated or not.

Iconic collections inspired by history, science and architecture

Each Schwung collection tells its own story. Babylon reinterprets the angular language of ancient Mesopotamian cuneiform writing, while Molecule explores the invisible geometry of atomic structures through elegant brass frameworks. Odyssey invites us on an imaginative journey between memory and the future, and Vesta pays tribute to the Roman goddess of the hearth with architectural forms inspired by classical columns.

The iconic Globes collection represents the essence of Schwung through an endlessly configurable lighting concept combining refined brass finishes with three signature glass types. Hana celebrates simplicity through its elegant frosted glass cloche, while Schwung Classic revisits the earliest electric lighting using mouth-blown borosilicate glass inspired by the centuries-old Bohemian glassmaking tradition.

Timeless lighting designed to last for generations

Schwung creates more than lighting fixtures—it creates collectible design objects. Every collection forms part of an evolving family of illuminated pieces imagined to accompany everyday life for many years. Built with exceptional materials and timeless aesthetics, each luminaire is designed to become a lasting part of its owner's personal story.
