The Gilded Ellipse
An elongated oval frame in matte black, its upper arc wrapped entirely in hand-wound natural gold cord and its lower arc suspending a dense, evenly spaced row of slender clear glass tubes — each tube catching the internal LED light along its full length and releasing it downward as a soft, precise line. The contrast between materials is the defining quality: the warmth and irregularity of hand-wound artisan cord against the precision of uniform glass, matte black metalwork holding both in tension. The oval geometry gives the fitting a directional quality — it has a length and a centre, a front and a back — making it inherently suited to a dining table or island that it runs above and belongs to. Available in any size and shape.
What makes it special:
- The hand-wound cord is applied by hand — no two fittings are identical; the winding carries the character of the maker
- The glass tube fringe and the cord wrap occupy the same object but speak entirely different material languages — the tension between them is the design
- The oval form is neither ring nor rectangle — it has the softness of a curve and the intention of a linear fitting simultaneously
Perfect for:
- Long dining tables in interiors that mix natural materials with architectural precision
- Spaces where warmth and craft are as important as form
- Rooms with rattan, linen, stone, or timber alongside darker architectural elements
