About the Hesperios Lighting System
Hesperios Lighting is a modular, sculptural system in pleated paper—designed and built entirely in‑house, from shade to light engine. After many iterations, we’ve tuned the geometry for precision and made the architecture fully customizable. Our debut collection includes pre‑set pendant and ceiling to floor chains, a table lamp, and a build‑your‑own chain light. We prototype weekly, testing new ideas, fine-tuning the system, and developing practical new solutions. These pieces are not UL listed at this time; they are offered as studio-made lighting art objects while certification is in progress.

Configurations & Environments
After extensive material trials, we selected metallic papers that hold structure and subtly shift tone from daylight to when illuminated. The presets are calibrated for a wide range of spaces—home and office, libraries and galleries, villas and museums, boats and tents, even a tool shed or over the dining table. Prefer something different? Visit @hesperios for weekly one-of-a-kind, in-house lights ready to ship, or contact us for custom commissions. New products are being added, and our Design-Your-Own Chain Builder is coming soon. To see finishes in person, request swatches → (send us a note).
