LightArt Illuminates Northwest Flora
Seattle-based lighting studio recreates native northwest flowers in their lighting
Award-winning lighting manufacturer, LightArt, is excited to launch the third part in a series of pendants that revisit the company’s sculptural roots. LightArt’s President and Creative Director, Ryan Smith, routinely gives his team of artisans a special assignment meant to foster creativity. This year, in volume three of their Botanical series, the team was tasked with creating a nod to the Pacific Northwest with a fixture mimicking the native flora of the region. Each artisan was asked to select their favorite indigenous flower and recreate it through LightArt’s signature organic shapes.
Inspired by flowers that dot the pacific northwest landscape, the Botanical Series presents six new pendants from LightArt’s artisans, along with President Ryan Smith and LightArt Cofounder Ahna Holder.
The artisan’s selected shade hues reflect the true color of each flower – the soft, muted palette illuminates a warm glow and highlights the craftsmanship of the collection. The Botanical Series pendants can hang as singular pendants or be clustered into a bouquet, creating a cost-effective large-scale fixture.
“This year’s series of Botanical fixtures are rooted in nature, taking on an otherworldly and slightly fantastical look when seen as a lighting application,” says Smith, “we love seeing what our team can create.”
Five of the botanical pendants take their names directly from the floriculture that inspired them – Foxglove pendant, Alpine Columbine, Snowdrop Blossom, Rhododendron, Cherry Blossom. The unique sixth pendant, the Chartreuse Blossom, was shaped from LightArt’s original Blossom pendant and expanded upon with lush, wavy green and white petals.
Each fixture is UL compliant and available with a white power cord to canopy, adjustable from 12 inches to 96 inches. Lead times vary from six to eight weeks, and additional testing and/or labeling is available upon request. All Botanical series fixtures are available in over 250 colors offered by 3form’s Varia Ecoresin material platform.
