The CRUX Collection explores the natural geometries of the five stars that form the Southern Cross, one of the most recognisable constellations in the southern sky. Symbolising guidance and navigation, the collection reflects the constellation’s unique formation. Four stars emit a soft glow through undulating glass elements suspended within brass structures, evoking deep space. The collection features a single sconce and two pendant variations. It debuted globally in 2024, launching at Milan Design Week before being showcased at Melbourne Design Week and the Germanopratin Art and Design Fair in Paris.

Guided by astrology and mythology, the studio continually looks to nature for inspiration. CRUX emerged from a desire to translate celestial formations into sculptural lighting. As a constellation visible only in the Southern Hemisphere, the Southern Cross became a defining muse for the collection.

Conceived in April 2023 and launched a year later, CRUX embodies the interplay of organic and geometric forms. It merges the soft, amorphous glow of stars with the angular precision of minerals like quartz, a material the studio is renowned for working with.
