Designed by Bruce Rowe for Anchor, Ridge is a wall sconce made in Melbourne, Australia that will add warmth, texture and refined simplicity to buildings and interiors. The grounded, three-sided form complements the primary qualities of other Anchor lighting ranges, such as the cylindrical Earth light or rectilinear Flute light. The undulating curved edges and matte surface of Ridge casts light across the form and softens the junction between the fitting and the wall surface.
Working with an earth based colour palette, Rowe has created matte surface finishes inherent to raw materials. Sediment is the colour of the fired clay body used to make the range and the surfaces Iron Ore, Sand and Chalk have each been developed specifically by Anchor for Ridge.
Ridge’s design draws from inter-disciplinary research and development practice in tactility, materiality, circularity, and hybrid making processes. The studio has used a proprietary ceramic material with 100% recycled content. Anchor’s circular making processes draw on landfill diverted resources sourced from production activities and production partners. Each form is the product of over 30 making stages, the majority of which are crafted by hand.
