Limited Edition Run of 20 Pendant Lights

Born out of natural dialogue, the collaboration combines an unexpected source of inspiration: a weekend football game with the CONCHA collection’s shell-like paper structure and warm brass details. Chui was struck by her teammate’s running path traced by her fitness tracker during an intense match, which resulted in tireless movement. This sparked a conversation about capturing the essence of life's beautiful mess.

Known for her captivating embroidery, this translated into a stunning visual narrative on the established collection’s paper shades. Imbued with intricate hand stitching that maps the wild dance of the football game. These embroidered ‘scribble’ represent the chaos and dedication inherent in transformation, a counterpoint to the main collection's inherent sense of calm.

This limited edition captures the essence of the CONCHA collection and is a testament to the power of transformation and the unexpected beauty found in the most dynamic moments. It invites us to embrace the chaos, find solace in the intricate tapestry of life, and illuminate our path forward. It evokes a sense of whimsy and textural intrigue, where the light plays through the delicate embroidery, casting a warm and inviting glow.

The fixture boasts a unique paper type that blends paper and non-woven fabric. Visible on the surface are the very fibres that give this paper its distinctive character. Striking both visually and texturally, it also offers surprising versatility. When held to the light, the paper takes on a warm sheen.

The CONCHA Embroidure Collection is handcrafted, embroidered, and assembled in our London-based studio. Artist Nicole Chui shares the studio space, fostering a close collaboration.
