Caviar Sconce Collection
Chen Chen & Kai Williams
Available in a variety of styles, this collection of sconces focuses on an illuminated lens atop a textured surface to create the experience of viewing an alternate world through a portal. The caviar-like material is an industrial sanding material, steel shot, which is mixed with an epoxy to bind the granules together. An open faced mold is used so that the back of the sconce can be molded into a specific shape to contain all the electronic parts while the top is randomly formed by the "caviar" falling as it may. The prismatic effect, unique to each light, creates an otherworldly effect; a true combination of technical innovation and pure imagination. The lens functions as both a diffuser for the light as well as an entry into a mysterious universe.

Murk Moon Water Lens
John Hogan
Seattle based artist John Hogan’s critically lauded work, which spans both functional objects and sculpture, is about changing radiant energy through the refraction of light. Now working on a larger scale, including limited edition furniture pieces, Hogan has produced a series of water lenses, created exclusively for The Future Perfect. When filled with water, these large vessels, created from hand blown and cast glass, emanate a hypnotic effect that echoes the prismatic effect of magnified glass.

Pyrite Caviar Sconce
Chen Chen & Kai Williams
Caviar Sconce focuses an illuminated lens on a textured surface to create the experience of viewing an alternate world through a portal. The black caviar like material is an industrial sanding material, steel shot, which is mixed with an epoxy to bind the granules together. An open faced mold is used so that the back of the sconce can be molded into a specific shape to contain all the electronic parts while the top is randomly formed by the "caviar" falling as it may. This shows a duality in the nature of the material in it's ability to be formed and to make form on it's own.

The sconce’s quixotic appeal is achieved through the effect of the the illuminated glass lens, which covers the metal components. The prismatic effect, unique to each light, creates an otherwordly effect; a true combination of technical innovation and pure imagination. The lens functions as both a diffuser for the light as well as an entry into a mysterious universe.

Geology Tables are made by splitting various stones in half and bringing the face to a high polish in order to reveal the composition of minerals hidden inside. The individual stones are assembled like a puzzle into a bricolage surface that is supported by a complex network of steel. Each unique stone is set like a jewel in an armature made specifically to hold it.

Chris Wolston
This lighting fixture is designed to command attention in any room. While the piece references the jungle surroundings of Wolston’s adopted home of Medellin, Colombia with its production of palm fronds and colorful shapes, one could see it as the anchor of an extravagant interior.
