Dezeen Showroom: the Australian coastline informed the curved, textural metal forms of the Bell lighting collection, created by design studio Aftr for lighting brand Rakumba.

Lights in the Bell collection were designed by Aftr to have a timeless appearance, which Rakumba said is ideally suited to both indoor or outdoor environments.

"The Bell collection by Aftr is inspired by the texture and ocean-smoothed topology of Australia's iconic coastline," said Rakumba.

"An artfully reduced geometry with an emphasis on scale and proportion, Bell contributes a raw monolithic materiality and clarity of form to elegant architectural projects."

The lights are made from metal and come in a selection of finish options

Bell is available in two sizes and with aluminium, bronze or powder coated finishes, each with a unique texture achieved through the use of sand as a casting mould.

Their bulbs face downwards, creating a warm wash of light across walls.
