Bespoke Italian Chandeliers & Hand Blown Glass Lighting

      Borghese Luce Arte 

Borghese Luce Arte designs and creates ‘Luce Arte’ (‘art lights’),
stunning and individual lighting sculptures/chandeliers made exclusively from
Murano glass. Each piece, hand blown by the designer

Rocco Borghese
brings together light and fine art, resulting in an incredible
design statement to illuminate the home.

Borghese Luce Arte light designs range from sculptures made up of
delicate, intertwining glass threads to more classic chandeliers
assembled piece by piece. Despite their diversity of style, each
Borghese Luce Arte sculpture shares the same jewel-like luminosity
as light dances through their glass forms.

Every Borghese light is unique and made painstakingly by hand. The
process of glass blowing is a highly skilled and delicate art with
each aspect of the finished light sculpture melted and shaped
individually.

As well as a reflection of his own artistic vision, Rocco Borghese
is passionate that his pieces should fit perfectly within your
living space. Clients have the opportunity to be involved in the
creative process selecting the styles, shapes and colours most
reflective of them and in-keeping with their home. Due to their
delicate and ‘one off’ nature, Borghese Luce Arte also offers
expert installation of its lights for clients.

In the following pages you will see examples of Rocco Borghese’s
recent work. Commissions can be as simple or extravagant as a
client likes from a single standalone piece to a collection of
complimentary lights to fill the home. Prices available on request.

About the designer

Rocco Borghese combines an instinctive Italian understanding of
style and design with the skill and passion of an artisan. Born in
Southern Italy, Rocco began his career working with his glass
sculptor father in their family-run studio and workshop. ‘The
Borghese furnace,’ as it was known, became synonymous in the local
region and amongst its customers for its excellent and individual
glass work.

In his twenties, with an ambition to start his own glass blowing
business, Rocco travelled to London to study architecture with
interior design. Following his graduation Rocco began his first
lighting business, creating custom made lights using neon. After many
years he began working exclusively in Murano glass, moving away
from more commercial projects in favour of developing his lights as
art pieces.

Rocco eventually opened Borghese Luce Arte in Crouch End, a shop and
workshop within which to create his unique art-light pieces. Since
opening, Rocco’s work has established a growing following amongst
interior designers and his client base includes several well-known
names. His lights have been featured on Channel 4’s ‘Grand Designs’
and are sold through Selfridges and a number of boutique shops in
London’s Mayfair.
