Lithos Lighting

lighting

Lithos provides the base of the geological term ‘Lithosphere’ - the most immediate outer crust of our earth. As the pieces take majority of their form in sandstone, they are very much an abstracted yet raw form of our own lithosphere.


The Lithos lighting series wasfeatured for Melbourne Design Week 2025 as part of HARD following a succuessful debut in Melbourne Design Week 2022 garnering a feature from Design Editor, Stephen Todd in The Australian Financial Review. 



Lithos lighting. Sandstone, steel, bronze. With electrical additions.


Lithos Candelabra. Sandstone, steel, bees wax candle.

Lamps are constructed using Barrabool sandstone sourced from a demolished period home, as well as steel reinforcement rods, discarded from a local construction site.
