Materials: Studio Produced

Caviar Sconces are sculptural lighting fixtures. They have a body made of small steel particles that resemble caviar. An illuminated lens is affixed to the face and and creates a viewing portal which both magnifies and bends the light to create streaks of color.

Versions

Version 1 was debuted by Patrick Parrish Gallery at Design Miami 2016. This version has a body that appears the same as the current version from the front. The main difference is the configuration of the mounting hardware and cleating system. The tripod fixture that holds the illuminated glass lens is painted steel. Five units of a silver edition for Spazio Nobile also have the version one configuration.

Version 2 was developed in spring 2017 to improve production and ease of mounting. The internal cavity was expanded and mounting cleat system was improved. In spring of 2018 the tripod fixture was changed to anodized aluminum. Logo plate and signature were moved from the inside cavity to the back plate.
