At its heart, the Posent pairs the richness of brown oak with the delicacy of hand-blown glass. The spherical shade, formed by layering two tones of glass, glows with a soft, mottled character when lit, creating a subtle interplay of light and texture. A circular bronze fixture anchors the design, and can be oriented upward or downward, allowing for versatile placement and expression. Every element has been refined for balance, beauty, and tactile charm.
The Posent light reflects the ethos that defines PINCH: a belief in poetic design and a reverence for enduring craftsmanship. This is a light not just to illuminate, but is imbued with quiet intention, handcrafted integrity, and a spirit of simplicity that lends itself to both rustic retreats and modern interiors.
Minimalist form inspired by monastic design
Drawing inspiration from the candle sconces found in Cistercian cloisters, the PINCH Posent light distils centuries of simplicity into a refined sculptural form. Its clean, curved lines and ball-in-bowl composition offer a sense of order: sketched and shaped with a devotion to restraint and balance.
Crafted contrasts
The Posent light is an expression of beautiful material juxtaposition, uniting the strength of turned oak with the reflectivity of hand-blown glass. Together, these contrasting elements create a balanced composition where warmth, weight, and reflection coexist in a piece that celebrates the maker’s hand.
Layered glass reveals movement in stillness
Each spherical shade is glass-blown at a specialist London workshop using traditional techniques. Layers of tinted and clear glass are rolled, shaped and cooled to form a mottled inner texture, capturing the fluid choreography of glassblowing in a moment that feels both dynamic and serene.
Brown oak with naturally vivid character
The timber dish of the Posent is turned from brown oak, a wood naturally darkened by the rare Fistulina Hepatica fungus. This organic process reveals rich variation and grain, giving each piece its own quiet drama, preserving nature’s hand as part of the design.
