Materials have hidden messages. These create a powerful link to our emotional psyches and shape our connection to daily life. Our light is a sturdy friend, unpretentious and always there for us. We have chosen honest materials that carry clear messages: iron for its feelings of stability, reliability, trust; wood with its warmth and life, and porcelain for its intimate glow, as well as its tactility. Then we have put these three together for a certain oddness. This is because there is an innate awkwardness in the directional light that we wanted to amplify – rather as with people this is a sympathetic quality not a sin.
