THE MINOR DESCENT: A UNIFIED SPECIFICATION

THE OLD DIVIDE between architectural and decorative lighting doesn’t work for modern projects. We developed The Minor Descent to bridge that gap, delivering high-performance technical specs in a decorative body. By combining a 125 lm/W inner core with a hand-cast, tactile housing, we’re giving designers a fixture that meets ever-stricter commercial targets without losing the artisanal character of the space.

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 updated or refreshed without the need for additional wiring or ceiling works. The technical spec stays fixed, but the visual finish is completely fluid.

LONDON-MADE, BASE MATERIALS Our manufacturing strategy is built on honesty and proximity. While high-tier technical components are sourced from a global supply chain, 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 high-end lighting under one roof. It’s a hyper-local approach to assembly and casing that standard “just-in-time” systems can’t really compete.

THE TECH & SAFETY Sustainability has to be safe to be viable. The 3D-printed inner core is made from PET-G FR V0, a flame-retardant filament compliant with the UL94 V0 standard. It provides the fire resistance required for commercial mechanical components while maintaining the zero-waste benefits of 3D printing.

THE PROFESSIONAL TOOLKIT At 125 lm/W, The Minor Descent is engineered for high-performance benchmarks, ensuring the decorative scheme supports the building’s long-term efficiency and compliance goals.

  • Colour Temperatures: 2700K, 3000K, & 4000K
  • Control: Fully compatible with DALI, 1-10V, and Non-Dimmable protocols
  • Performance: Upto 1,500lm output & 125 lm/W

THE SHORT VERSION The Minor Descent is a practical response to the end of siloed design. By pairing a print on demand, UL94 V0 flame-retardant inner core with an interchangeable shell, we’re offering high-fidelity light that is safe, fast, and adaptable.
