The Abacus is a sophisticated tool dating back to 300 BC. Sliding stones along a rod, ancient statesmen, merchants and mathematicians performed mathematical balancing acts using this simple yet powerful tool.
Abacus enacts this ancient, loaded gesture, allowing faceted brass clasped quartz crystals to be balanced at any point along a horizontal brass beam. Diffused LED light both highlights the jewel clasp and emanates downwards to wash surfaces in warm, dimmable light. Jewel drop and beam additions allow the expression of either minimal or elaborate balancing acts.

Christopher Boots is propelled by a deep reverence for nature and light, coupled with an unwavering dedication to achieving nothing less than excellence. With a background in industrial design, Boots channels his focus into creating lighting that is seen as an artistic sculpture.
He draws inspiration from both the classical and metaphysical realms, paying homage to graceful proportions, meticulous intricacies, and a finely-tuned sculptural sensibility. Along this creative journey, he invokes mythical concepts surrounding creation and transformation.
After studying literature and linguistics, Boots graduated from the National School of Design in Melbourne, Australia, establishing his eponymous studio on 11-11-11 and releasing his first lighting collection later that year.
Operating out of Melbourne, the studio meticulously designs, prototypes, and crafts its creations. This process upholds the traditional principles of form and proportion while seamlessly merging conventional and cutting-edge materials through a range of techniques. The result is a series of future collectibles intended to transcend and enhance architectural spaces.
The work of the studio has been displayed at Hermès, Rossana Orlandi, the National Gallery of Victoria, Parliament House, and countless private collections in New York, Dubai, Tokyo, Moscow, and Paris.
Collaborating with architects, interior designers, and private clients fuels the studio dialogue between the worlds we all transverse.
