form follows feeling and light reveals the story by shaping the atmosphere. through our work, we want to evoke human emotions and be part of the story. we design for people so the time spent with our work is enjoyable.

from a singular concept, we design and fabricate. that enables us to have close dialogues between them and create a cohesive work. we find inspiration in the fundamentals of design and the materials we use. the concept expresses through a minimalistic approach. it is rather subtractive than additive. we eliminate excess without losing the essence. so our work can convey the concept in a simple form.

ray ray was born from the concept of providing a focused illumination with a simple steel shade, which expresses steel’s hardness and softness simultaneously. cold rolled steel shade was heat-formed to express a porcelain-like moldability. the bottom of the shade was flame heated to produce mill scale and color variation. the result is a minimal cylindrical light with unique materiality that can only be expressed through steel.
