Rain. Light drops.The concept behind rain is illuminating: a multi-sensory experience of sight and sound that invites touch and interaction.

Rain captures the shimmery sparkle of raindrops frozen in descent and voices a whimsy chime of flutes. Individual drops are visually quite subtle, but gain tremendous strength when multiplied and clustered in large groups.

It is a playful piece with the sleekness of a design classic that is suitable for residential and commercial use.

OraOra is a piece that mediates between light and darkness through transparent˙colour. It is an interactive luminary that engages in experimentation and exploration of coloured illumination.

Ora enables personalization, for coloured light can have an emotional meaning and therefore can influence the atmosphere in a space. To control its outcome, three knobs were fitted; each of these adjusts one colour spectrum - red, green and blue.

Ora’s form was inspired by celestial worship and meditative symbols and appears as a minimalist wall button.
