LED pear tree by nick foley



brooklyn designer nick foley has created this unique lighting piece, which uses ultra-bright leds built into
pear-shaped urethane lights. the 'pears' can be detached from the steel tree, which is actually a charging station
that uses rare-earth magnets to provide up to an hour of illumination to the 'pears'. once charged, the user can
'pick' the fruit from the tree and use it where they need the light.
