"A ceiling fixture that places a floating assembly of large pebbles below a simple modern aluminum disc. These in turn reflect each other, bouncing light between their taught bio-morphic surfaces and reflecting the environment around them. During the day, the piece acts as a sculptural object reflecting the dynamics of natural light and movement of people around them." - Ross Lovegrove

Disc has a pale grey finish in die-cast aluminum with clear electrical cord and stainless steel cables with mounting directly to rigid ceiling surface over standard electrical junction boxes.
