MLS-01 / Designed for @rarify
Manufactured in the USA using @gantri ‘s Gantri Made technology and local fabricators.
On view May 16-19 at @afternoonlight in NYC
MLS-01 is a modular lighting system designed as a kit-of-parts that can be assembled and scaled in 3 directions using a standard diffuser and a system of aluminum connectors, derived from a standard grid module. It can be configured as a table lamp, floor lamp, sconce, pendant, or as a custom assembly.
This is my first manufactured-at-scale product that will be available exclusively through Rarify.
Huge thanks to @rarify and @gantri for making this happen and asking me to be a part of it.
