Resembling the arrangements of masts on sailing boats, designer Jamie McLellan was inspired to create the Spar Floor Light by Resident as a simple, yet luxury lighting fixture. Relying on a basic electrical cable for support, the Spar Floor Light may not seem like much, but the iconic four-directional adjusting shade says otherwise. Showcasing a cantilevered design, it works in a variety of spaces, breaking down for easy movement. Although simple at first glance, the Spar Floor Light is so much more with repeat viewings.

Clean lines, minimal materials and simple forms belie the amount of work that goes into creating objects that appear so uncomplicated. There is an art to such balance, and Resident's stable of solely New Zealand designers ("people we know and whose work we admire") are invested in a number of disciplines. Artists, architects and, yes, designers, employ a multitude of mediums in the creation of the studio's exquisitely engineered craftwork, from glass to carbon fiber, metals to ceramics.
