Description:

The Ghost Light was created to seamlessly blend technology and materiality. The design team meticulously crafted a sleek and versatile pendant light that embodies minimalism, making it perfect for both residential and commercial spaces.

The pendant light can be showcased in various ways: as a standalone piece, in linear configurations, or clustered together to create stunning compositions. This allows for endless options in terms of illumination, providing a personalised lighting experience.

The Ghost Light underwent a two-year development period, experimenting with folding glass and eventually settling on high-quality borosilicate glass tubes. The glass tubes have sandblasted edges that enhance the visual impact and create the illusion of invisible light shining through the glass.

The pendant features custom-made machined aluminium cap fittings and high-quality LED components. Light-blocking sheaths and a silicone cap ensure precise light control and prevent light leakage. When displayed in multiples, the Ghost Lights create a captivating visual effect as ethereal halo rings are reflected across their surfaces.

The Ghost Lights use custom-made LED components that provide clear and radiant light. With an average LED lifespan of 50,000 hours, The borosilicate glass tubes are crafted in the Czech Republic using traditional techniques. Skilled artisans heat, shape, and cool the glass tubes before sandblasting the edges to a 5mm finish.

The Ghost Lights undergo comprehensive testing to meet global lighting safety standards and are backed by a 3-year warranty.


The Ghost Lights prioritise eco-conscious manufacturing and materials. The borosilicate glass tubes are transparent, scratch-resistant, and of high optical quality. They are also durable, making them a long-lasting and environmentally friendly choice.
