Mould blown into bark, lit from within.
Barnacle is the piece we point to when someone asks what POGO is. Glass blown into a bark mould, an interchangeable inner bubble that carries the colour, and a threaded steel cap that hides the hardware. Hung on cord, settled on a table, or clustered on a stem. Driverless G9, 120V, dimmable at the wall.
Blown and cast by hand in a natural mould. Dimensions, colour and texture vary from the photographs; no two pieces match, including yours.

Story
Barnacle began with a single piece of Douglas-fir bark, pulled from a fallen tree on the North Shore. We didn't carve it or smooth it. We blew straight into it, and the glass took the form the tree had already made.
Lit, the colour gathers where the glass thickens and falls away where it thins. It behaves like the thing it's named for: a cluster that catches and holds.

The light
A warm low-voltage LED sits where the cast runs thickest. The glass does the shading: thick sections go deep and quiet, thin sections go bright, and the bark's texture decides which is which.
It is house light, not task light. Hang it low over a table or alone in a hallway and let the wall carry the glow. It is happiest at dusk and after.
There is nothing to maintain. Dust it when you think of it.
