The new Jolly light by Melbourne designer Kate Stokes is all about round, joyous geometries. Translucent hand-blown glass forms a bold half sphere, while its solid metal shade creates a more introverted profile in matte black, eucalyptus, burgundy or polished brass. In the wall light variety, this shape hugs the wall, whereas in the pendant variety, it sits at a jaunty angle from straight metal rods.
Launched at the recent International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) in New York, the light is produced by Australian design brand NAU, which also launched the SIA chair by Tom Fereday at the same event, presenting an Australian design showcase to the world stage.
The Jolly light is an evolution of Kate Stokes’ lighting designs – her studio Coco Flip is best known for the Coco pendant, which has gained a real following amongst interior designers and architects, and is regularly specified across residential and commercial interiors. Jolly is set to continue the same trajectory, with NAU to support it as manufacturer and supplier.
