STONE STORY // SOAPSTONE
For our Stone Story, Lightly designer Cindy-Lee Davies has extended her exploration of natural minerals. Soapstone has been used for a collection of hand carved bathroom and lighting designs. Each item reflects the uniquenesss of the hand picked stone.
Soapstone has been used for thousand of years as a medium for carvings. A metamorphic rock rich in magnesium, it is composed largely of the mineral talc. A neutral grey finish and lustre makes it complementary for any interior.
Our stand-out Gibson pendant light has been crafted from this distinctive material. The strong silhouette references the shape of stone forts in the Australian desert, contrast against the pastel light of the setting sun.
