Aria is an innovative pendant light designed to enhance mindful dining by fostering communication and connection. Its unique design empowers users to customize their dining atmosphere by easily removing or repositioning each of the five acrylic tubes. This flexibility a lows diners to achieve the ideal lighting arrangement, whether drawing people closer for intimate conversations or maintaining a comfortable distance for a more relaxed ambiance.

The light's core structure features a wooden tube, complemented by the removable acrylic tubes. Each tube houses two acrylic layers for optimal light diffusion, while copper wires serve as conductors, facilitating effortless installation and rearrangement. The tubes' sandblasted and frosted finish softens the light, creating a warm, rippling glow that enhances the dining experience. By adapting to various social dynamics and spatial needs, Aria transforms ordinary meals into engaging, personalized experiences, encouraging mindful eating and meaningful interactions around the table.
