The sandblasted acrylic with stepped shoulders meets the wood in overlapping planes, evoking the stillness and depth of Arctic ice. When illuminated, the light moves softly across the form, revealing itself in delicate layers and giving the lens a presence as an object in itself.
The Beaufort Vertical R5 is a rotation of this element in a circular composition, where the form takes on an orbital expression of light. Suspended vertically, it transforms into a lantern.
