In keeping with Lightmaker Studio’s design philosophy –
the Mode, Float and Zig-Zag series of fixtures use classic
forms, pure shapes and materials such as hand-finished
brass and hand-blown glass to create sculpture-like
modern pieces.
Varying sizes of blown glass spheres reach out in
a rhythmic pattern on a single horizontal plane. Mode
contrasts the movement of the globes with a lean and
linear profile.When used in multiples at staggered eleva-
tions, the whole is more art-piece than light fixture. Used
singly, Mode creates significant presence in a height-
constrained space.
A rigid geometric grid in Float chandeliers balances a
seemingly random pattern of globes. Float explores the
contrast between the opulent brass and glass spheres
and the highly defined horizontal orientation. While ap-
pearing to float, it redefines the chandelier into a semi-
flush mount form.
Launched in 2016, Zig-Zag combines classic mid-
century lighting forms with a striking, modern profile.
Supported by a geometric brass frame, white globes
emerge from brass cones, held at ninety-degree angles.
While sculpture-like, Zig-Zag is also a functional light
source, whether installed on the wall or the ceiling.
As a wall-mounted light source, Zig-Zag provides
significant illumination beyond a traditional sconce. As
a ceiling-mounted light source the fixture's low profile
allows it to be used in rooms or passageways where
ceiling heights are constrained.
