Brighten up your space with a Stella pendant light crafted by the talented artisans at Providence Art Glass & Lighting on the banks of the Blackstone in Cumberland. It comes in a riot of gorgeous colors, but we’re partial to the gold version, which reminds us of the summer sun, lolling and heavy in a mid-July sky. Hot glass is spun around the finished form to create a web of texture. providenceartglass.com
