object interface, the multi-disciplinary design studio of ryan taylor based in toronto, has developed a fixture called ‘well light’. the name has been abstracted from the ‘well glass’ diffuser and its pill-like shape.

using this form, functionality has been enhanced with the addition of a removable shade of spun aluminum. this curved surface, while adding more volume to the overall aesthetic, can simultaneously operate as a unique, structural space for plants to receive sunlight. meanwhile, the body of the product is made of cast aluminum with an acid etched glass diffuser.

further versatility is granted through a variety of color combinations suitable for any setting. chrome and copper are accompanied by a series of gloss and matte finishes for customization. ‘this design continues the theme of multi-use and plantings first seen in our earlier babylon light pendant,’ says taylor.
