Australian-based designer [Tom](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tulip-chair) Fereday works together with local heritage premium light brand [Rakumba](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/port-collection) to present the Port [Light](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/filigrana-6) collection. It is designed to highlight the beauty and purity of crystal, bringing attention to the refractive nature of it.

The light is a sculptural design that is crafted from optically pure crystal glass, arriving in the form of both round and stadium profiles. It can function as a wall sconce if nailed on the wall or as a table lamp. When it is on the wall, it brings an effortless sense of elegance to the space and as a table lamp, it grabs attention due to its fascinating sculptural form. The look of the light is enhanced by hand-finished brass with aluminum accents to showcase contrasting textures.
