Guiding the eyes from one light to the other like the stars of a constellation. Inspired by the star of the Sagittarius constellation by the same name, the Nunki No 4 Linear Suspension from Iacoli floats over one’s table surface as a nuanced arrangement of shape, light, and rich materials. The piece illustrates the Iacoli ethos of beauty, quality, and style. It streams down with a graceful pair of suspending down rods. A blown glass cylinder gets the eye scanning from one side to the other with crisp optics. Producing a pair of slender arms inside, a circular marble disc at the center adds a dash of classic elegance to the piece. Like the bright orbs in the night sky, globe-style bulbs cap the piece off to deliver radiant auras of ambient light.

Iacoli and McAllister make nice things. Very nice things. The pair take a reductive approach to design, toying with the balance of positive and negative spatiality while adhering to a core set of design principles that frame their collective process - proportion, scale, color and fabrication. Coupled with the duo's constant exploration of material mediums and various industrial processes, their seamlessly attuned sensibilities infuse the studio's work with a clean and chromatic Donald Judd-like minimalism.
