A prototype light built from two materials in opposition: cast iron encasing the light source, and clear epoxy resin directing where that light travels. The two are joined as a single form — inseparable, each making the other meaningful.

The design keeps the light source out of direct view. What reaches the eye is not the bulb but its consequence: a soft diffusion, a quiet glow that settles rather than asserts. Placed on a bedside table or beside a meal, it does what small light does best — it marks the room without commanding it.

At Φ33 × 210 mm, the proportions are deliberate. Slender enough to disappear into a scene, weighty enough — at 900g — to hold its ground.
