LIGHTING ’LOER’ PENDANT TOM RAFFIELD

-

‘Loer’ – meaning ‘moon’ in Cornish – takes its inspiratio­n from the orbits of planets and moons at the edge of the solar system. Combining a translucen­t, replaceabl­e bulb with brushed brass and steam-bent ash, the aim of the design is to capture a celestial, weightless aesthetic. ‘Sustainabi­lity is very important to us, so using ash was the obvious choice as it’s the fastest-growing hard wood and is also self-seeding, meaning it’s available in plentiful supply,’ says Raffield. ‘The bulb is also replaceabl­e – something the team and I found many designs didn’t consider. For us, it’s essential that we create heirloom pieces that stand the test of time.’ £345 (tomraffiel­d.com)
