The minimal and elegant form of the Onu Pendant is symbolic of those observed in the natural landscape. The light projects a warm light downwardly and has the potential to be situated in numerous interior contexts.
The Onu Series demonstrates various elegant linear forms, it is through the splitting of the timber where the light emits out into the space, the life of the tree is revealed though its opening. Utilizing the bent lamination technique, the two halves are formed, creating a splitting and divergence in the linear form. These two halves are then hand shaped with a variety of tools.
