The IC collection explores balance. There are a series of lights: table, wall, ceiling pendants and ceiling mounted lights which take their basic form from a sphere that is perfectly balanced on the edge of a rod.
"I came across an online video clip of a contact juggler. He was spinning a set of spheres, moving them around on his arms and edge of his fingers. And as I got mesmerized by the magic of his skill, suddenly the spheres look perfectly still. I wanted to capture that exact moment. This was my starting point. The initials IC come from the codes that English police use to define the perceived ethnicity of a person they stop in the street when reporting back to the station. IC1 means white person or Northern European type, IC2 means Mediterranean European/Hispanic, IC3 indicates an African/Afro-Caribbean person, and so on, so this is a playful story to define the different designs." -Michael Anastassiades
The IC collection features a matte black, brass or chromed steel frame with a blown glass opal diffuser and black cord.
