Inspired by
NATUREEach year, LightArt’s sta� takes time to step out of the studio
and �nd creative inspiration that’s meaningful to us. �is year, we looked to the natural world, bringing in the talents
of natural dyer Kathy Hattori from Botanical Colors. With her help, we created four original patterns, inspired by
spring, summer, autumn, and winter. We then tasked our artisans to build a unique pendant, in�uenced by their own interpretations
of the Seasons. We wanted to take this raw material a step further and create four accompanying LightArt I/O Box
and I/O Drums. We kept the twigs, dust and petals leftover from the dyeing process, thus creating a totally unique look, not only to our
artisan collection but our modern I/Os. �e experience took us out of the studio to �nd creative inspiration that’s meaningful to us personally.

SPRINGWhen artisan James Coury was challenged to create
a pendant in�uenced by spring, he turned to the vibrantly dyed material for inspiration. “I’ve always loved
the fresh yellow-greens of new growth, and this material de�nitely captures it.” With a professional background
in creating playful kinetic and musical sculptures, James formed grass blade patterns, reminiscent of spring’s
lush, warm glow.

SUMMERLightArt President and Creative Director Ryan Smith
was amazed by the sheer vibrancy of the organic dyed fabric. “It’s been a wonderful project to see come together.
Using raw dyes to create color and texture, we were able to take our sustainability efforts to the next level, while
challenging ourselves to create a unique material and creative products.” With summer fabric as his guide, Ryan created
a tangle of wild petals; a nod to a summer flower at the peak of its bloom.

AUTUMNHailing from Pennsylvania with a background in sculpture
and set building, Nick VanStrander was drawn to the fall-like material, having always been inspired by
autumn’s falling leaves, deciduous trees and textured wood. “I’ve been exploring these techniques, namely layering
material and creating peek-a-boos within layers—using these elements to riff on autumn’s decaying leaves
and tree snags. I’m drawn to intricacy and creating lace-like patterns and I think this pendant captures that.”

WINTERArtisan Tyson White knew almost immediately he wanted
to create a fixture inspired by winter for the Botanicals project. Having spent his childhood growing up in Alaska,
he was drawn to the pure indigo material. “Living in Alaska you would see these Blue Flag Irises begin to bloom
come late winter and early spring. They are everywhere and I have these memories–seeing the iris flowers blooming
right through the snow; so when I saw the fabric color, it immediately reminded me of winter.”
