How it works
One light. Forms on it.
A slim light rises from the base inside a clear tube. Every piece has a hole through the middle and threads onto that tube. Glowing forms catch the light, solid pieces sit between them, and a top screws on and holds the stack together.
- 1Plinth base
Carries the foot of the light, the cable and the weight that keeps the lamp standing. Your name goes on the back.
- 2Cloud, a glowing form
Sits between two thin collars. A clear sleeve inside keeps it centred on the tube.
- 3Ball, a solid piece
Rests on flat seats, top and bottom. The hole through it fits the tube.
- 4Cone, a solid piece
Rests on flat seats, top and bottom. The hole through it fits the tube.
- 5Pleat, a hanging form
Hangs from a ring at its top, so its rim falls over the piece below with a clear gap all round.
- 6Button top
Screws into the head of the tube and holds the whole stack down.
How each piece is held
Sit, rest, hang, hold.
Cloud, drum, orb and disc sit on a thin collar and take another on top. The light shines through the whole wall.
Ball, bead, ring, cone and stem rest on flat seats. They add colour and weight between the glowing forms.
Dome and pleat hang from a ring at their top. The rim drops over the piece below as far as it can while keeping a clear gap.
Every top, even the short ones, screws into the head of the tube, so the stack is held from both ends.
How the light goes in
One light, from the wall to the top.
- 1Plug-in adapter
A low-voltage adapter for an ordinary wall socket comes with every lamp.
- 2Socket at the back
The adapter plugs in low on the back of the base, so the cable stays out of sight.
- 3Foot
The foot of the tube twists and locks into the base. The light connects there.
- 4Light bar
A slim warm-white light, cut to the height of your glowing forms and centred on them, so each one is lit from inside.
- 5Clear tube
Carries the light up the middle. Every piece threads onto it.
- 6Head
Closes the tube at the top. The top screws into it, and the light slides out through it if it ever needs replacing.
The same tube and light, hung on a cord from a ceiling cup instead of standing on a base. The cup connects to the light point in your ceiling and is fitted by an electrician.
Any form on any form
Stack it however you like. The studio keeps it right.
Glowing forms, solid pieces and hanging forms can go on top of one another in any order, in any size.
A hanging form drops only as far as it can while staying clear of everything below it, including a short piece and whatever sits under that.
The light is cut to the glowing part of your design, wherever it starts and ends.
The studio works out where the weight sits and how far the lamp could lean. If it is too top-heavy, it tells you what to change.
Every design stays within the height and width we make and deliver. The studio tells you before you go over.
Pieces come off and go back on. When you add pieces, the studio shows whether your light still reaches them.
Grooves and sizes
Each piece, your way.
Every piece comes in small, medium or large, smooth or textured, and the grooves can be made finer or bolder. In daylight they throw tiny shadows; at night the light shows through them in stripes.

Good to know.
- Every lamp arrives with its light, a plug-in adapter and a short guide to stacking it.
- Switch the lamp off before you change pieces. Lift and move it by its base.
- A hanging lamp's ceiling cup is fitted to your ceiling point by an electrician.
- Every picture on this site is a 3D render or a drawing of the real pieces.
- Colours on screen can look slightly different from the real ones, and sizes can differ by a millimetre or two.
