New York-based design studio [Apparatus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stavanger) introduces its latest lighting range in the form of the Median collection. The namesake nods to the alabaster planes that cross at the fluted brass forms along the middle section. The light source is hidden behind to shine through the slightly clear stone.

It is inspired by the look of Middle Eastern jewelry and takes a new and progressive lens. It includes designs in the form of a sconce, a range of surface and pendant lighting, and is rounded out by a [table lamp](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nau-design). It has modern shapes and is further elevated by the use of elegant materials. Due to the sleek look, it is perfect as a [sculptural decor or lighting piece](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-lighting-design).
