A BALANCING ACT
The “Taking Note - A Balancing Act” collection harmoniously blends the artistry of music with the elegance of light, offering a range of designs that resonate with creativity and sophistication.
Each piece—Crescendo, Legato, Mezzo, and Pizzicato—embodies a unique interpretation of musical elements, from the structured geometry of Crescendo’s symphonic arrangement to the playful rhythm of Legato’s offbeat design. Mezzo captures the fluidity of sound waves in motion, while Pizzicato strikes a balance between simplicity and chaos with its dynamic clusters. Together, these fixtures create a versatile and visually captivating collection that brings a sense of rhythm and harmony to any space.
CRESCENDO
A SYMPHONY OF LIGHT AND FORM
Like notes in a musical composition, Crescendo’s design elements are meticulously arranged with clean lines and linear geometry to form a threedimensional structure that illuminates the space. The interplay of light with these elements engages viewers, much like music resonates with listeners.
Fully customizable, Crescendo allows adjustments in scale, density, and size, making it adaptable to any environment. Each fixture is crafted to be reimagined and reinvented, offering flexibility for diverse settings. By juxtaposing materials like glass and metal, and blending forms of lines and curves, Crescendo creates a versatile element that can be arranged in nearly endless variations.

LEGATO
RHYTHM IN LIGHT AND FORM
Legato, crafted from powder-coated aluminum and illuminated opal tubes, creates a distinctive design element that mirrors the rhythm of music.

Suspended on two cables, each piece is oriented slightly differently, contributing to its playful and acrobatic-inspired character. Available in multiple configurations of 3, 5, or 8 pendants, Legato fills the space with dynamic energy and visual interest.
