The Spire Collection

Inspired by the architectural detail that shares it’s name; The Spire Collection achieves a deceptively simple shade form through a complex take on slip cast porcelain manufacturing. Studies contrasting organic and rational, as well as classic and modern resulted in a unique “vessel of light” presented as three pendants and a sconce.

This collection of lighting was designed for Boyd’s 100th year — a true honour for Jake Oliveira Studio.
