Suspension Lights collection by COLLECTIONAL Dubai
Apparatus
Inspired by the mechanics of neural synapses, this pendant is composed of two hand-molded glass domes that require a 4-part firing process. A Brass Orb floats in transit between the two hemispheres.
Apparatus
Signal reverberates light through the concentric circles of its pressed glass diffuser, informed by the fresnel lens. Recalling the architecture of satellites, the series is punctuated by rhythms of code articulated in the dots and antennae that delicately encircle its brass body. The fixtures create soft gradients of light, like the silent communication of a satellite emitting waves across the ether.
Apparatus
Reprise Pendant is one of the newest pieces in Apparatus ACT FOUR Collection. Reminiscent of Joe Colombo KD27 Boom Microphones, from this globe wall fixture emits a subtle source of light, gracefully resting in a brass armature hand-wrapped in leather case.
Apparatus
Referencing traditional Middle Eastern jewelry while pushing it through a futurist lens, the translucent alabaster planes of the Median Pendants—a collection of ceiling lights by Apparatus—are intersected by a fluted brass form. The stone glows from a hidden light source, illuminating the relationship between the solid and the permeable.
Apparatus
Lariat Pendant by Gabriel Hendifar for Apparatus is reminiscent of forms found in jewelry—etched glass teardrops hang from finely woven brass mesh. Taut lines and graceful swags are weighted by elongated orbs, addressing an intersection of geometry and gravity.
Apparatus
The slip-cast porcelain forms of the LANTERN floats along a rigid brass structure. Their glow is punctuated by finely incised fluting, connecting to the essential element of historical lanterns - light passing through a delicate protective form. Repeating spheres act as a counterpoint to the sizeable shades.
Apparatus
Horsehair Pendant Light by Gabriel Hendifar for Apparatus represents a robust study of material that evokes the grace and strength of its equine contributor. Wefts of horsehair are combined with brass and etched glass, implying a structural, weight-bearing function for the coarse hair.
Apparatus
Highwire Pendant Light by Gabriel Hendifar for Apparatus is inspired by the silhouette of famed French aerialist Philippe Petit on his wire. The “balance bar” is wrapped in leather or suede and can be tilted along its axis.
Apparatus
The Circuit creates rhythm with the repetition of pure shapes. A glowing glass capsule nests in a brass shade, becoming a contained form that multiplies to construct larger fixtures.

Vantot
While it opens up a world of design opportunities, LED requires a different approach than conventional lighting. Compared to traditional fixtures, the focused and dense light of LED calls for multiple light sources instead of one.
