The 'Bo Light' Takes Its Inspiration from a Curved Bow and Arrow
Ellen Smith — August 2, 2017 — Art & Design
The Bo Light fuses functionality with art and design to create a light structure that deviates from standard forms.
The light source draws inspiration from the graceful arch of a bow. The fixture features a curved piece of solid oak, a roped braid and two ends connected by wire. The light source is filled with LED bulbs that face toward the wall, creating a soft and indirect glow. The product is available in both natural oak and an ebony finish, seamlessly integrating itself into any home.
The need for individuality in home design is becoming more vital, allowing designers to experiment with functional products that sit at the intersection between art and object.
