Designed by South African artist Jesse Ede, the Orbit light is an innovative celestial-inspired light that turns full circle to mimic the moon. Inspired by the trajectory of the moon around the earth, this light continues Ede's lunar-themed series, which began with the Lunar table and bench. The light itself is constructed from solid brass and features an arm and bulb that moves in a full 360-degree rotation around the cast-bronze bowl. This allows the Orbit light to illuminate from any chosen angle.
The light also features a distinct patina that gives the light a raw and aged appearance. Ede is apparently very drawn to this aesthetic as the natural finish to his work illuminates the contrast of man-made processes and raw materials.
