At left, the "lug nut" edition draws on automotive inspired details with a broad-shouldered silhouette. On the right, the "water tower" edition is a reinterpretation of the classic New York City water tower that evokes familiar urban infrastructure, distilled into a compact, sculptural lighting object.
The Fanoos “dingle ball” edition explores the idea of object as jewelry. Featuring a walnut top, acetal ring, and hand-strung glass beads, the piece introduces a softer, more ornamental expression to the series while retaining its industrial foundation. Material contrasts and layered detailing transform a functional object into something intimate, decorative, and quietly ceremonial.
