FLOOR HORIZON
by JOHN PAWSON
Floor Horizon evolves from the original Horizon pendant, designed to blend quietly into daylight and revealing its full form after dark. Its slender steel frame supports a vertical column of light that appears to float with remarkable lightness. The handblown glass body, shaped using the traditional balloton technique, forms a finely textured cylinder that subtly refracts and softens the light. This interplay creates an effect of minimalist clarity and refined tactility, embodying Pawson’s philosophy of essential form and quiet presence.

JOHN PAWSON
John Pawson was born in 1949 in Halifax, Yorkshire. After visiting the studio of Japanese architect and designer Shiro Kuramata, he enrolled at the Architecture Association in London, leaving to establish his practice in 1981. From the outset, Pawson’s work has focused on ways of approaching fundamental problems of space, proportion, light, and materials – themes he also explored in his book Minimum, which examines the notion of simplicity in art, architecture, and design across a variety of historical and cultural contexts. Early commissions included homes for the writer Bruce Chatwin, opera director Pierre Audi and collector Doris Lockhart Saatchi, together with art galleries in London, Dublin, and New York.
