Now let’s go through some of Benjamin Hubert’s most well known lighting designs.

Spinning BH1 and Spinning BH2

Its form is inspired by the process of metal spinning and the popular childhood toy, the spinning top. Because of their versatile design, both pendants in the Spinning series work in both residential and commercial interiors, on their own or clustered together.

Labware Lighting Series
