Orchid Lights
Product description
A brass lighting collection inspired by the delicate structure of an orchid in bloom - petal-like contours, a softly modelled underside for gentle diffusion, and a biomorphic silhouette with a restrained Art Nouveau note. Debuted as a pendant at MENU 2025, the Orchid collection has since expanded into a full family: pendant, floor lamp, wall light, and table lamp. Each carrying the same iconic form across a different typology.

My involvement
Led form development and prototyping across the full Orchid collection. Iterating sheet thickness, edge radius, and suspension geometry through physical and digital tests to resolve a silhouette that reads weightless at scale. Originally debuted as a pendant at MENU 2025, the collection returned at MENU 2026 as a complete lighting family, with the addition of a floor lamp, wall light, and table lamp.
