Lighting the loom: how we engineered the TOSSA woven pendants

Balancing natural cane translucency with hidden anti-glare COB engines for high-end coastal residences.
Crafted with organic cane, jute fibres, and hand-turned teak, our signature TOSSA collection required an innovative dual-cavity thermal and optical architecture.
Integrating Precision Optics into Organic Craft
We engineered an isolated aluminum core that dissipates LED heat away from the organic cane fibres, paired with a custom frosted prismatic lens that projects soft ambient light sideways while driving crisp 95+ CRI downlight below.
Key Engineering Takeaways
- Thermal isolation protects artisanal natural materials from heat degradation.
- Dual optical paths deliver warm atmospheric glow alongside functional table illuminance.
