Leaf is a combination of LED (light emitting diode) technology, engineering and sculptural beauty. Its thin profile and range of motion allows the user to position the blades for direct lighting or fold the blades for subtle, ambient light.

Leaf’s sculptural form was created to minimize material use while maximising light options. Overall Leaf’s LEDs consume less than 12 watts of power, carry a lifespan of over 60,000 hours at full power and cut energy use by 40 percent compared to compact fluorescent lights. The light has been developed according to Herman Miller’s demanding Design for the Environment protocol, emphasizing sustainable processes, materials and recyclability.

Leaf is available exclusively nationwide through Living Edge.

The Review, part one: ‘Truth and Lies in Architecture’ by Richard Francis-Jones

Timothy Alouani-Roby met with Richard Francis-Jones of fjcstudio (formerly fjmtstudio) to discuss his timely, provocative and, quite frankly, necessary book on architecture. In this first part of the book review, we consider the alienation and commodification of the profession, as well as its place in society.

Brave new worlds made possible with Tilt

Ostensibly an industrial design consultancy, Tilt was born of the observation of an increasing gap between architectural ambition and construction capability. The skill set lies in facilitating the inherently creative bent of architects, landscape architects and artists with engineering and industrial design solutions.
