With their luxuriously weighty quality, and glowing colours, Bella Figura’s ‘Diamond’ lamps are one of the lighting company's most beloved products. They are made in the glassblowing centre of Italy, Murano, and have a heritage steeped in family tradition, craftsmanship and artisan skill.

Glassmaking in the Czech Republic goes back to the Middle Ages, and it is still a centre of excellence and innovation. Gladee Lighting, which has its manufacturing base in the traditional glass-making region of Jablonec, is still pushing the boundaries, as its latest collection shows.

For Porta Romana's Andrew Hills, the workshop is the heart of the business, and "the thing that makes Porta Romana special". Go behind the scenes and explore how the new collections are made here.
