Miles collection, Yabu Pushelberg for Lasvit
Inspired by the parallels between music-making and glassblowing, the Miles collection combines cylindrical outer casings with internal fluted shapes reminiscent of horn instruments. The number of segments ganged together by the New York– and Toronto-based design and product studio Yabu Pushelberg creates different lengths—small, medium, and large—of each luminaire type, while its diameter remains constant: 193mm for the pendant, 204mm for the table lamp, and 250mm for the floor lamp. The Miles collection utilizes graphite-colored glass with a graphite-gray frame. lasvit.com
