‘I have always been fascinated with the
parallel that exists between Lighting and
Jewelry. Starting from the simple fact of
how each piece relates to the human scale:
one is designed to be worn on the body
whereas the other is made to decorate the
space someone occupies. I’m challenged in
how the delicate nature of something small
can be translated spatially and still manage to
retain its preciousness in the way materials are
presented. It is no coincidence that the word
‘pendant’has a double meaning. Existing both
as a piece of jewelry that hangs from a chain
worn round the neck, and a light designed
to hang from the ceiling. Arrangements is a
modular system of geometric light elements
that can be combined in different ways,
creating multiple compositions into individual
chandeliers. Each unit simply attaches onto
the previous one as if resting, balancing
perfectly as part of a glowing chain’.
