The Lito Series was born from designer Todd Stevenson’s desire to transition his practice into producing lighting that reflected his 25 years of expertise in handcrafting metals. His aspiration is always to fully harness the material and produce pieces with a true sense of permanence.



Handmade in solid brass, the Lito Series epitomises understated complexity, innovatively encasing a defused LED light source within sculptural brass channels. Architectural in silhouette the series melds traditional forms, examining and reimagining line and shape.



The series embodies symmetrical harmony, with lineal lengths fixed meticulously to a central hexagonal piece, presenting flashes of the brass facade between channels. Simultaneously this central column discretely integrates the mechanisms of the light within.



The Lito Series offers three pieces. Available in two sizes the Lito Trio utilises the alternating faces of the hexagonal core creating a skilfully suspended, timeless piece. The Lito Dual Trio presents a statement pendant combining the two-channel sizes of the Lito Trio, nestling the smaller in the spaces in-between, intersecting site lines and resulting in luxurious statement piece.



The Lito Series is materially rich, allowing the planes of brass to be generously presented in symphony with the warm glow emitting from within. Captivating from all angles the Lito Series exudes balance, the golden lengths gliding vertically, the interlocked channels creating delicate shadows amidst their folds.



Instantly elevating its surrounding environments, the series is designed for pieces to be hung individually or together en masse creating dynamic clusters to enhance both domestic and commercial spaces.



The Lito Series comes in brushed, polished and antiqued finishes and is available in custom finishes tailored to the client, on request. All Lito Lights come fully assembled and are dimmable.



These atmospheric pieces demonstrate impeccable craftsmanship, revealing the natural qualities of the material. Opulent in tactility The Lito Series presents sublime sculptural forms without compromising the intention of its luminous function. The Lito Series endures, their distinguished profile and contour forever seductive.



The Lito Series is made by hand in Aotearoa, New Zealand.
