Description
BUCKY VITRINE diffuses light through vertical geometric surfaces of fluted glass sheets, creating subtle gradations of transparency.
Originally inspired by Buckminster Fuller’s Biosphère dome for the Montréal 1967 exposition, BUCKY VITRINE recontextualises this classic Christopher Boots fixture by de-materialising steel into glass.
Exploring both natural geometry and industrial manufacturing, BUCKY VITRINE is a subtle yet complex inquiry into elemental geometry.

The Christopher Boots studio was founded on the principle of “Fiat Lux”: Let there be Light.
Established 11-11-11 through metaphysical and material exploration of quartz crystal, the studio gave birth to creating lighting with a signature aesthetic: exploring relationships between nature, architecture, symbology, geometry and geology, offering contemporary interpretations of structure, symmetry and pattern.
All works are handmade with love and care by a diverse team of skilled artisans. Collaborations with glass blowers, bronze foundries, sculptors, metal smiths and stone masons ensure a commitment to quality, underscoring an investigative sensibility, giving birth to a series of illuminating collections both alluring and unexpectedly visceral.
Collaborating with architects, interior designers and private clients fuels the dialogue between worlds we all transverse.
Customised options are warmly encouraged.
