Booi (tie)

by Graypants

CONCEPT STATEMENT:

Booi walks the line between fixture and object. Reframing the relationship between interior design and light, Booi come down off the ceiling and joins the space as a decorative object; relaxed, relevant, at ease. The Booi pendant can be hung alone or in groups, or used as an accent light simply resting on a table or the floor.

Booi can be visually linked to round fenders often found on smaller boats; the fixture’s glass eye was inspired by the glass fishing floats once used by fishermen in many parts of the world. Though no longer commonly used, many of the glass balls are still afloat in the world's oceans and have become a popular collectors' item for beachcombers and decorators alike. These nautical design roots are a connection between the rugged maritime landscapes of Bergen, Norway and Seattle, Washington.

PROJECT SPECS:

Booi’s solid-wood cap is handmade in Seattle, and a white opal glass shade is added to finish the fixture. The wooden cap gives a textured, weathered feel, while the linen-covered cord highlights the maritime connection of rope becoming line.
