Either/Or Pendant
Stockholm Furniture Fair, Sweden2019 - 2020
Inspired by the poetic tactility of Kusari-doi (鎖樋) - the ornate linked chains used to spout rainwater from the eaves of Japanese temples - the Either/Or Pendant elicits an ethereal beauty with soft ambient lighting akin to rainwater glittering as it washes down a delicate chain.

“We find beauty not in the thing itself but in the patterns of shadows, the light and the darkness, that one thing against another creates.”
Jun'ichirō Tanizak, In Praise of Shadows
