Industrial task lighting has inspired both the form of the collection and its methods of manufacture.

The collection pays homage to the French engineer and physicist Augustin-Jean Fresnel who contributed significantly to the establishment of the theory of wave optics. Industrial task lighting has inspired both the form of the collection and its methods of manufacture.  Making a playful visual reference to Newcastle upon Tyne’s industrial heritage, the lights utilise the function of a pressed glass lens (used in the railway industry) with the techniques of the metal spinner.
