There is a distinct possibility that those who love flowing curves, the idea of biomimicry and designs inspired by ocean life will fall equally strongly in love with the Navicula. Made from CNC cut bamboo plywood, these pendants have a silhouette that borrows from the form of microscopic ocean diatoms. Easy on the eyes and minimal, these light fixtures bring curves to a modern setting without going over the top.
