Christopher Boots

Christopher Boots Material and metaphysical exploration since 11-11-11. The Christopher Boots studio was founded on the principle of “Fiat Lux”: Let there be Light.

Established 11-11-11 through metaphysical and material exploration of quartz crystal, the studio gave birth to creating lighting with a signature aesthetic: exploring relationships between nature, architecture, symbology, geometry and geology, offering contemporary interpretations of structure, symmetry and pattern. All works are handmade with love and care by a diverse team of skilled artisans. Collaborations with glass blowers, bronze foundries, sculptors, metal smiths and stone masons ensure a commitment to quality, underscoring an investigative sensibility, giving birth to a series of illuminating collections both alluring and unexpectedly visceral. The studio designs, prototypes and builds in Melbourne, Australia, honouring traditional elements of form, proportion and scale, marrying traditional and cutting edge materials with various techniques, creating future collectibles designed for transforming architecture. The work of the studio has been displayed at Hermès, Rossana Orlandi, National Gallery of Victoria, Parliament House, Cassina, amongst countless private collections in New York, Dubai, Tokyo, Moscow and Paris. Collaborating with architects, interior designers and private clients fuels the dialogue between worlds we all transverse.

MIROSUNA

Good design contributes to human wellbeing. That belief shaped Sally Kellett’s vision for Mirosuna, a mindfulness and meditation studio in South Melbourne.

Designed by Melanie Beynon Architecture as a place for deep relaxation, Mirosuna brings together acoustics, visual ambience, tactility and climate to support a slower, more restorative state. Warm indirect light, soft natural materials and a muted palette work together to create a place where you leave the city at the door.

VANITY

It seems vanity can last. VANITY SCREEN is back in the studio, nine years after it was crafted here. Cast in solid bronze and inlaid with lapis lazuli, clear and smoky quartz, its lunar surface is still drawing the eye.

CONTINUUM

9.6 metres, 31 feet. One NEPENTHES Tendril, cascading through the heart of this private residence on Lake Geneva, Switzerland.

This ambitious custom project was designed in concert with the sculptural timber staircase that climbs the full height of the home. The continuous sweep of the staircase carries through to the lighting, which threads the stairwell from ceiling to floor.

Architecture and lighting as one.

THE FINAL TOUCH

Each piece is meticulously assembled, illuminated and checked from every angle before being cleared for departure.

One final stop inside the studio, then out into the world.

ECLIPSES

Sixteen days after the Moon cast its shadow across Earth in a total solar eclipse, Earth responds.

Tonight, its shadow passes across the full Moon in a near-total lunar eclipse, leaving only a sliver illuminated.

Best viewed across the Americas, with parts of Europe and Africa catching it too. Unfortunately, out of sight on our home soil.

THE POEM

Staircases are moments of transition: between levels, perspectives and light. The character of a home reveals itself through them in sequence. Perhaps that’s what Louis Kahn meant when he called the stair “the poem of a house.”

IN PRIVATE

Away from the public rooms of the home, bathrooms are spaces of personal retreat. Places for the small rituals that begin and end a day: bathing, tending, reflection. Literal and otherwise.

In these private moments, the materials, textures, light are experienced intimately too.

VULCANALIA

Even the gods needed a maker.

August 23 marks Vulcanalia, the ancient festival honouring Vulcan, god of fire, volcanoes and metalworking.

Most gods worked with tools beyond mortal reach. Vulcan's divine work drew only on earthly means: heat, hand tools, ingenuity and dedication. With these, he became the craftsman other gods turned to for extraordinary works of armour, ornament and invention.

Vulcanalia is a chance to celebrate the divine act of making, and our own small place in a lineage of craftspeople stretching back millennia.

For the makers among you, consider this your feast day.
