Crimson RedAres' EmberWhen everything hesitates, she goes ahead.Where they live
Every collection belongs somewhere in a house, at a particular hour, doing a particular job. Start with the room you were thinking of.
The bedside — night
The last thing switched off. It has to be dim enough not to wake the room and warm enough not to feel like a hospital.
The shelf — evening
On a shelf it is furniture for sixteen hours a day and a light for eight. It has to be worth looking at either way.
The corner — morning
Every room has one. A lamp there does more for how the room feels than anything overhead, because it puts light where the shadow was.
21:00
Everything here is made for the hours after the daylight stops doing the work — when what is lit is a decision rather than a given.

IvoryIvoryIt fades, and only light is left.How much light a room needs
Two small sources beat one large one at every hour after dark — which is why nothing here tries to light a whole room on its own.
How they are made
Resin cast at 2.4 millimetres, sanded by hand, checked against a wall before it is packed. Thinner and the bulb shows through; thicker and the lamp reads as switched off while it is on.
Inside the workshopFour collections, four places to put them.
