CALYX
CALYX, designed 1991, relaunched 2024.
Inspired by Brancusi Bird in Space
I designed a pared back form, where the shade would flow into the stem, to create a simple unfettered form.
A slimline with soft curves.
Calyx definition is a whirl of leaves, in this relaunch, the shade is a twirl lampshade parchment secured by brass chicago screw.
A slim G9 lampholder.
