Title:
CONJOIN

Concept Statement:
Based on the theme Crystallize, CONJOIN is a pendant, floor, and table light in one that takes inspiration from the twinned crystal structure. This structure is naturally occurring and happens when two identical cube crystal forms are fused together. The light itself is a scaled version of this phenomenon captured in frosted glass. When used as a floor or table light CONJOIN's multi-faceted shape allows for it to be placed in many different ways on either surface. While, with the addition of the ceiling mount attachment part the light can also be transformed into a pendant light.

CONJOIN attempts to have universal appeal with its many functions, simplicity of form, and soft glow suitable for a variety of interior spaces. The light also aims to create a social response and an emotional impact where is it is placed. The poetry of the light's shape and interconnectedness of two entwined forms abstractly relates to our understanding of love, reliance, and dependance that we experience in our everyday relationships. It also becomes a symbol of our similarities and ties to nature and to each other.
