standout Concentric circles were specially designed for their light-filtering effects.

Who knew that a walk in the woods could be so illuminating? Strolling through a grove in Peru, Federico Otero was captivated by the interplay of light and shadow created by layered foliage. Back in the studio, he imagined a pendant fixture that would bring that magic indoors, minus the literal leaf shapes.

The first LED fixture produced by this company, queenly, glamorous La Reina is constructed from laser-cut, electro-polished stainless steel that’s powder-coated white inside for added reflectivity. Both sizes, 23½ and 36 inches tall, can be suspended from an individual satin-nickel canopy or custom-clustered with a larger one. 415-778-4300; boydlighting.com. circle 421
