Navicula
Navicula is inspired by microscopic diatoms, which live in water and produce 50% of the air we breathe. The light is crafted from strong, multi-layered bamboo plywood, creating a natural skeletal skin. The tensile form is lit internally by an LED strip, designed to create atmosphere; Navicula emits a soft, dim glow. It is perfect as a sculptural feature light but is not suited for task lighting. Navicula is ideal for a dining table, lounge, foyer, reception or as a sculptural lighting feature. In 2016, Navicula won a Gold Best award and in 2017 a Good Design award. Navicula featured in the Grand Designs New Zealand 'Floating Beach Bach' in 2020.
Shipping as kitset vastly reduces the harmful effects of moving items around the globe. On average our kitset lights are 1/40th the size of an assembled one.
