KNOT
knot, a collection of stately pendent lights, contrasts
two dissimilar materials, two dissimilar notions: gentle
curves in clear handblown glass against the austerity
of coarse rope. The resulting design is striking, forth-
right, and dignified at the same time.
Full-bodied globes of varying shapes and sizes
are penetrated by robust rope ending in the core
design element of the collection – the knot – which
seemingly pulls the bottom of the glass inward for
a bemusing plastic effect. The LEd light source is
mounted beneath an elegant hood made of stamped
metal and protected from below by a handblown tri-
plex opal diffusor. another metal component serves
to cap the end of the rope. The collection comprises
lights of four different shapes in two sizes with a vari-
ety of colour options. There’s also a romantic table
light, which is now available in a version for exterior
use as well. now the metal components are available
in an optional white powder finish.
