FENNISTROY™ The Meridian Globe Luminaire "A delicate ecosystem of light, grounded by the gravity of solid brass."

The FENNISTROY™ Meridian Globe Luminaire is born from the tension between industrial brutalism and delicate craftsmanship. It challenges the eye by resting a seemingly weightless, fragile sphere of light upon a heavy, unyielding architectural foundation. This piece is crafted for spaces that appreciate bold geometry and moody, atmospheric illumination.

🔨 Anatomy & Craftsmanship

This fixture is composed of three distinct material layers, each serving a specific aesthetic and functional purpose:

• The Cruciform Base: The foundation is forged from heavy, antique-finished brass plates that intersect to form a perfect cross. This raw, geometric stand provides extreme stability while offering a distinctly mid-century industrial aesthetic.

• The Atmospheric Sphere: Nestled securely within the brass angles is an oversized, hand-blown glass globe. It is finished with a sophisticated smoky-amber tint that catches ambient room light even when the lamp is off.

• The Luminous Core: At its center sits a dense, frosted cylindrical diffuser. This core obscures the raw bulb, transforming the light into a soft, glowing pillar that warms the surrounding tinted glass.

🛋️ Styling & Placement Guide

The Meridian is a low-level ambient light, designed to set a mood rather than light up a workspace.

1. The Ideal Canvas: It thrives against minimalist backdrops—think raw concrete pedestals, Venetian plaster walls, or smooth stone surfaces.

2. Room Placement: Perfect as a statement piece on a low credenza in a living space, or anchoring a wide entryway console table.

3. The Glow: The tinted glass naturally dims the light output, making it an excellent choice for evening relaxation zones where harsh overhead lighting is unwanted.

⚠️ Precautions & Care Instructions

To maintain the integrity and beauty of your Meridian Luminaire, please adhere to the following:

• Handling with Care: Never lift the lamp by the glass globe. The sphere rests securely within the base but is not permanently fused. Always lift from the heavy brass cross-plates underneath.

• Surface Cleaning: Dust the glass sphere with a dry, lint-free microfiber cloth. For fingerprints, a lightly damp cloth can be used.

• Brass Maintenance: The brass base features a raw, antiqued finish. Do not use chemical brass cleaners, as this will strip the intended patina. Wipe only with a soft, dry cloth.
