The Three Wise Men Pendants are modeled after the group of distinguished foreigners who visited Jesus after his birth, bearing gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. To illustrate how different they are from each other, each one takes on a different shape. While one design is short and squat, another is tall and long while the last resides somewhere in between.
Overall, the Three Wise Men Pendants look like wooden bottles or vases that have been outfitted with LED lights and hung from the ceiling. Designed by Samuel Chan, a designer born in Hong Kong and based in Southwest London, for Channels, the light fixtures have been carefully turned from solid American white oak or American black walnut.
