Huge sheets of colored glass transform into intricate, illuminated floral designs in a new video from Process Discovery that glimpses the manufacturing process of Tiffany-style lamps. A timeless design originally made popular by artist Louis Comfort Tiffany in the late 19th century, the colorful, luminescent shades remain popular today. And while original models produced for Tiffany sell for tens of thousands of dollars, mass-produced versions like the ones shown here are much more accessible. The process comprises complex steps that follow an intricate diagram, from cutting individual shapes to assembling in a mold to soldering every seam.
