CHRISTOPHER BOOTS
Born 1979, Christopher Boots is driven by a love of nature and light with a commitment to nothing short of excellence. Trained in Industrial Design, Boots’ focus is creating lighting, interpreted as sculptural objects.
Boots look to classical and metaphysical worlds, honoring elegant proportions, precise details, and a highly developed sculptural sense; along the journey suggesting mythical ideas about creation and change.
He is a dedicated craftsman, seeking to elevate and transform materials in ways that highlight their natural beauty. After studying literature and linguistics, Boots graduated from the National School of Design (Melbourne), establishing his eponymous studio in early 2011, releasing his first lighting collection later that year.
Boots lives in Melbourne, Australia, spending several months of the year between Los Angeles and the European Union.
