KNOT
knot, a family 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 and
forthright yet 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 bemus-
ing plastic effect. The LED light source is mounted
beneath an elegant hood made of stamped metal
and protected from below by a handblown triplex
opal diffusor. Another metal component serves to
cap the end of the rope. The family comprises lights
of four different shapes in two sizes with a variety of
colour options. Additionally, there is a romantic table
light, now available in a variant for exterior use, and
a portable battery-powered light, both of which are
manufactured in two different sizes.
