Lightloft Melbourne & XO Lights by Edwards Moore.

Part sail loft, part lighting gallery & store, the lightloft, designed by Melbourne-based architecture studio Edwards Moore, is a temporary space designed to launch the XO light. Inspired by yacht racing and sail shaping, the space aims to communicate and showcase how the light is produced. The store also serves as a home for a sail maker who fabricates the lights on-site.

The XO light, also designed by Edwards Moore & produced by Rakumba, is a crafted, hand-made fitting, embodying the elegance of sail shaping and yacht racing. The XO shade is made from two layers of translucent film. Its unique shape is created by an exo-skeleton formed by three aluminium battens attached to the base, available in either matte gold or silver.

XO is a limited on demand production available exclusively through lightloft.net
