Gloster Furniture

Ambient Cocoon

Mimicking the perfect texture and symmetry of silk cocoons, these minimal and delicate looking lanterns are deceptively tough. Manufactured from modern plastics and combined with a striking solid, buffed teak handle of almost agricultural purity, these (solar LED) lights are as much about design as they are about illumination. Danish designer Henrik Pedersen has combined an extensive background in interior lighting with an intimate knowledge of outdoor furniture to create the Ambient collection. Asked about the design influences, Henrik says “My path in design has led me through many parts of the world, many cultures… Light and warmth are always principal parts of the best social environments and the most modest of devices are often the most effective. Here I combine the worlds of simplicity and light to achieve beautiful background illumination”. Two distinct designs are available and, as the name suggests, create the perfect ambience alongside any Gloster collection as the sun begins to set.

Smooth tough modern plastics are paired with statement buffed teak handles creating Cocoon. For Nest, man-made fibres in either Steel or Fawn colour, encase a colour matched powder coated stainless steel frame. Both styles of lantern create soft mood lighting with the use of integrated solar charged LED lights.
