What happens when illumination is reduced to its most elemental form? Brooklyn, New York-based lighting studio Ladies & Gentlemen explores this question with Lightscape, a limited-edition candleholder designed to elevate the flame it holds. "We see the potential for our objects to celebrate a ritual or make someone look twice at something," cofounder Dylan Davis explains. "In the case of the candle, [that means] to take stock of what's wonderful and intrinsic about a flame, and how it interacts with the space around you." Inspired by Laszlo Moholy-Nagy's Light-Space Modulator (1930), the object features an intersecting composition of perforated and polished metal that subtly obscures the glow. The result is a dynamic interplay of shadows and light.
