Issue 62

Living in the Environment Issue

Issue 62 is the first issue of the year and always a great time to put our best foot forward. With Adam Goodrum, the loveliest man in design, as Guest Editor, we draw on his insights as a furniture designer, artist and educator to look at the makers shaping our design world. Sustainability has never been more important, and increasingly this is a consideration from the start with projects designed to address their immediate environment as well as the longevity of the planet. From the coldest winters to the most tropical of summers, addressing how we live in the environment is crucial to creating the perfect home.

Humble, Handmade Light Fittings From Marz Designs

As the name implies, each piece from Marz Designs’ Terra collection of architectural lighting is made from Earth’s natural materials; timber and clay.

As a designer – and a human – Coco Reynolds is refreshingly down-to-earth. The proof is in the thoughtful materiality of the items that come out of her independent industrial design practice, Marz Designs.

Consider the Terra lighting collection, for instance; a versatile selection of pendants, ceiling and wall fixtures, born from a marriage of natural materials in functional form. Handmade clay ceramic shades and combinations of hand-turned timber compose the collection’s design variations – each of which is honest in appearance and architectural in construct.

Made in collaboration with Byron Bay-based artisan, Grit Ceramics, the slip cast ceramic components of the light shades are available in a choice of three tones; Slate, Sage, and Vanilla Bean. Each Terra collection piece is infused with subtle variations inherent of handcraft, making each light fitting rich in origin and unique in form.

Terra 00

Crafted with a combination of two contrasting half domes, Terra 00 is available in pendant, wall and ceiling-mounted formats. Ceramic shades paired with hand-turned FSC certified timbers in Walnut or Oak to create these unique pieces.

Terra 0

Featuring a brass backplate and a short or long articulating arm this light is available in a wall light format and is both directional and functional. The singular domed ceramic fitting creates a controlled light source.

Terra 1.0

Simple cylindrical ceramic forms create the Terra 1 range. Available in pendant, wall and articulating wall formats. Mix and match to bring a sense of individuality into a master bedroom.

Terra 1.5

A matte cylindrical shape is layered with a smaller glazed base to create this asymmetric stack of ceramic forms with two contrasting finishes. The Terra 1.5 is available as a feature pendant or directional ceiling mounted light.

Terra 2.0

These lights feature two slip-cast lamp holders with unique brass or blackened brass detailing. A duo of ceramic cylinders stacked to form a bi-directional wall light suitable for both residential and commercial interior spaces.
