Spread & Drop
Two axes of composition — how fixtures are distributed across the ceiling, and how they fall.
The Spread
How the fixtures are distributed
across the ceiling plane.
Linear
Along a single axis.
Directional, architectural
and deliberate.
Triangular
Three points forming
asymmetric balance
across the field.
Circular
Radial distribution
around a central
axis or void.
The Drop
How the fixtures are
distributed vertically.
Level
All pendants at
a single consistent
height.
Stepped
Graduating from one height
to another. The eye led in a
direction.
Cascading
Varying heights without
prescribed order.
Movement through the
volume.
