‘I have always been fascinated with the

parallel that exists between Lighting and

Jewelry. Starting from the simple fact of

how each piece relates to the human scale:

one is designed to be worn on the body

whereas the other is made to decorate the

space someone occupies. I’m challenged in

how the delicate nature of something small

can be translated spatially and still manage to

retain its preciousness in the way materials are

presented. It is no coincidence that the word

‘pendant’has a double meaning. Existing both

as a piece of jewelry that hangs from a chain

worn round the neck, and a light designed

to hang from the ceiling. Arrangements is a

modular system of geometric light elements

that can be combined in different ways,

creating multiple compositions into individual

chandeliers. Each unit simply attaches onto

the previous one as if resting, balancing

perfectly as part of a glowing chain’.
