The Minor Descent
Breaking the old divide between architectural and decorative lighting
We made The Minor Descent to deliver high-performance technical specification inside a decorative, customisable body. A 125 lm/W inner core sits within a hand-cast, tactile housing — a fixture that meets ever-stricter commercial targets without giving up the character of the space.
THE PROFESSIONAL TOOLKIT
The Minor Descent is engineered to commercial benchmarks, so the decorative scheme supports the building's long-term efficiency and compliance goals rather than working against them.

DESIGN ELEMENTS
Housing
The outer housing adapts to its setting — different profiles, finishes, and project-specific detailing that make each installation particular rather than standardised. Its small scale is the advantage: enough to punctuate a space rather than dominate it, and consistent enough to repeat across one without visual fatigue.
Materials & Finishes
Jesmonite
Roman Cement
Custom finishes and materials available upon request.
Applications
Task-oriented environments
Office and studio spaces
Galleries and exhibition areas
Residential focal points
Customisations
The housing is a canvas for project-specific expression — geometric profiles, fluted textures, knurled surfaces, or entirely bespoke forms tailored to your intent. We work directly with architects and designers to realise them.
A 60-SECOND REFRESH
We wanted to get away from the static nature of traditional lighting. The Minor Descent uses a refined, tool-less friction-fit that lets you swap the entire aesthetic in under a minute. Because the inner core is a permanent installation, the look can be refreshed without additional wiring or ceiling works. The technical specification stays fixed; the visual finish stays completely fluid.
It's also the heart of the sustainability case: a luminaire that can evolve rather than be discarded — a regenerative lifespan rather than a disposable one.
LONDON-MADE, BASE MATERIALS
Our manufacturing strategy is built on honesty and proximity. High-tier technical components come from a global supply chain, but the transformation into a finished luminaire happens entirely in our London workshop. From specialised 3D filaments to mineral powders — and even reclaimed materials found on-site — we turn raw matter into finished lighting under one roof. It's a hyper-local approach to assembly and casing that standard just-in-time systems can't really compete with.
THE TECH & SAFETY
Sustainability has to be safe to be viable. The 3D-printed inner core is made from PET-G FR, a flame-retardant filament compliant with the UL94 V0 standard. It provides the fire resistance required for commercial mechanical components while keeping the zero-waste benefits of 3D printing.
