LOOKBOOK
We want to catch the world by surprise. Because when you hit the switch, it’s not just a light that turns on. Something happens that transcends function, transforming a space into one that lives and breathes— unbound by convention. Our design ethos evokes a similar abundance of thought. Seemingly uncomplicated both in vision and materiality, we draw magic from the ordinary; offering an outlet for inspired living through everything we create. Balancing the tradition of handcrafted process with the latest in technology, our lighting collection reflects a well-considered, modernist approach. We obsess over distilling every piece down to its purest form, celebrating the finest details that make every piece extraordinary.

Ova C33 in Clear Amber
OVA
Ova exudes an ethereal glow that can turn any space into a sanctuary of elegance. Carefully handmade into dimensional layers of glass, Ova casts a diffused and ambient warmth through its womb-like, translucent inner body – bringing an energetic incandescence to its life-like composition. Nestled within an
instinctively familiar form, Ova’s luminescence brings a depth of movement that seemingly transforms from every vantage point. Ova is a modular pendant system with interchangable glass colour-ways, designed to suit the space they are meant to adorn.

Dodeca 46 in Silk Black
DODECA
Dodeca, a nod to the Greek word for 12, is a contemporary chandelier forged with facets that interact wonderfully with its ambient light - a seemingly counterintuitive balance against the more industrial, inner band of illumination. Using high density, high output LEDs, it is a
fixture known for coming to life when turned on and an equally striking sculpture at rest. Dodeca is available in 28, 36 and 46 inch diameters.

Cabochon - for briefcase by Matthew
McCormick, designed in collaboration with Burdi Filek. Engineered to suspend 30 feet from the ceiling without visible fasteners, the Cabochon column was created from 750 hand-poured, artisanal glass pieces after months of design and experimentation. Crafted as a site-specific, bespoke installation, Cabochon casts an ethereal reflection against a three-story, curved limestone staircase offering an evolving mosaic of reflection with every passing hour of natural daylight.
