Satin glass lighting is lightly acid-etched or sandblasted to produce a smooth matte surface that mutes direct light. These shades are common in early to mid-20th century settings, especially in medical, educational, and domestic environments where softened illumination was required.
Satin glass was often used in combination with flush fittings or steel bulkheads to create a clean, unobtrusive presence. It’s an ideal choice for bathrooms, bedrooms, and stair landings where function and subtlety are prioritised.
