  • "What if you could touch electricity and in so doing provide a truly emotional experience." The idea came to us that we could move the light source separately from the shade the way the sun works with the earths movements. How to deliver this movement was the design challenge.

  • These remarkable pendants deliver on the design challenge or brief . Their handblown glass shades float in space like delicate jellyfish while the beautifully resolved proprietary LED bulb housing and counter weight system , allow the light source to be raised or lowered to alter the lighting intensity and experience.

  • It's rare and very precious when design delivers that sense of awe and magic we feel as children when we understand the mechanism of bird flight or wonder at the intricacy of colour and pattern in a flower. The natural reaction is to smile. These are the exact emotions and final physical manifestation that one experiences when interacting with the wonderful function and simple beauty that is the Limpid Light Collection. Wonder is a delightful emotion to give, free of charge to a client whos intent is to purchase more than simply a light.

  • The proprietary LED housing and counterweight system are key features that deliver the 'wonder' that is Limpid.
