X&Y

X&Y allows the user to touch and control the power of the light. This creates a personal and tactile experience. X&Y is an exploration of colour, but more than that, it is about connection – encouraging people through interaction to choose their own desired lighting effect.

The polished brass base houses all of the technology and LED modules, making the hand-blown opal glass sphere free to move in any direction. The sturdy sphere rests on a ring of felt, meaning the user can roll the globe in any direction to determine the intensity and colour of light.
