Arik Levy Lighting: Oblique and Stab Light, Where Each Works
Arik Levy is a sculptor as much as a designer, and his lights read like small sculptures. We use them where a fixture should be noticed even when it is off.
“Choose Oblique where a light should look like it grew there.”
Our rule of thumb
Garden walls and paths
Oblique rises from a slim stem like a sprouting plant. Use the wall light by an entry and the bollard along a path; from some angles it nearly vanishes.
Dining and side tables
Stab Light has a hand-blown, multi-layer glass diffuser. Hang it over a small table where the glass can be seen up close. It won a Red Dot award in 2016.
