The textile can be stretched around complex forms and diffuses the light through its dense network of warp woven polyester fibers.

The Textile is offset and contrasted with a brightly lit polymer lens at the heart of each pendant.

The forms of the textile lamps reference traditional Chinese lanterns as a known reference point transformed with a new technological material.
