The capsule is made with the partnership of ceramicist Emma Louise Payne and glassmaker Phoebe Stubbs. The new series is made up of a floor lamp, cocktail lamp, mirror, wall light, and table lamp. All of these embody a structural form with a natural silhouette. This is the second time that the two are working together and Payne describes the designs: “From sketches on napkins through to late-night drawings, we developed Meld slowly, and through making, we came up with a design that reflects both our design ethos and our love of each other’s craft."
