A Unique Production Method for Coloring Glass Lampshades
Product designer Jordi Canudas' Dipping Light
Barcelona-based product designer Jordi Canudas came up with a unique way to color a glass lampshade: "Dipping the globes in paint [and] drying each coating before applying a new one to create a layered color lampshade," he writes.
"[The] manufacturing process begins by dipping the shade into liquid paint several times," writes Dipping Light manufacturer Marset. "Thus, each Dipping Light is different and unique because it depends on the paint mixture, drying and atmospheric conditions at the time. These factors will determine that the color stripes will have different sizes and textures in each of them."
By dipping again and again, he's able to get delineated gradations. The end results are pretty wonderful:
The lamps retail from €317 (USD $345).

I hope people realize they can make this lamp for about $25 and save yourself $300. Also his project "Our Voices" seems to scream Christo copycat. I'm not convinced this is very creative.
Not sure I'd consider this technique "novel".... Apparently you've never dyed easter eggs? Quite frankly I can't think of many other ways to paint a glass orb besides dipping them. I'm pretty sure people have been doing this since about forever. They do look cool, just not a novel or new idea.
