HORIZON
by JOHN PAWSON
Horizon reimagines the pendant light as a sculptural element that complements diverse environments. Crafted from handblown Murano glass using the traditional balloton technique, its surface features a finely textured interplay of translucent and opaque areas. The minimalist design allows it to blend seamlessly into its surroundings during the day, while its subtle illumination at night adds a quiet presence to any space. This balance of form and light exemplifies Pawson’s philosophy of restrained elegance.

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.
