The Nova is clean and contemporary handcrafted glass. Besa’s easy-to-use bayonet mount secures the glass diffuser to the aluminum fitter with a “twist & lock” action. Besa Lighting Carrera glass is a classic yet modern décor that gives off a soft white light. Clear molten glass is rolled in alabaster powder like frit, and then blown into shape with a semi-clear frosted white inner finish. This décor is created by rolling molten glass in small bits of white called frit. The smooth finish on the clear outer layer is a result of an extensive etching process. This blown glass is handcrafted by a skilled artisan, utilizing century-old techniques passed down from generation to generation. Each piece of this décor has its own artistic nature that can be individually appreciated.
