Brass and Quartz Crystal Pendant Light - Abacus 900 by Christopher BootsThe Abacus is a sophisticated tool dating back to 300 BC.Sliding stones along a rod, ancient statesmen, merchants and mathematicians performed mathematical balancing acts using this simple yet powerful tool.ABACUS enacts this ancient, loaded gesture, allowing faceted brass clasped quartz crystals to be balanced at any point along a horizontal brass beam.Diffused LED light both highlights the jewel clasp and emanates downwards to wash surfaces in warm, dimmable light.Jewel drop and beam additions allow the expression of either minimal or elaborate balancing acts.On the first image you can see following configuration: ABACUS I 900, (Aged Brass). In the description bellow we present available options for the dimensions, finish, suspension type etc.  Design: Christopher Boots, 2019Materials: Aged Brass, Natural Uncut Quartz CrystalsLamp: 24V LED WW 2700K dimmableSuspension: Vertical RodSizes, watts & price:Abacus 900 - 900 x 65 x 340 mm (35.4 x 2.6 x 13.4 ”) 18W $8,531Abacus 1200 - 1200 x 65 x 340 mm (47.2 x 2.6 x 13.4 ”) 23W $9,562Abacus 1500 - 1500 x 65 x 340 mm (59.0 x 2.6 x 13.4 ”) 29W $10,875Abacus 1800 - 1800 x 65 x 340 mm (70.9 x 2.6 x 13.4 ”) 35W $12,187Abacus 2100 - 2100 x 65 x 340 mm (82.7 x 2.6 x 13.4 ”) 41W $14,250Abacus 2400 - 2400 x 65 x 340 mm (94.5 x 2.6 x 13.4 ”) 47W $16,312Additional Quartz Drop - 65 x 30 x 340 mm (2.6 x 1.2 x 13.4 ”) $1,013Details & Notes:Crystals are grown by Mother Nature, as such all crystals will differ in size, shape and scale with every fixture.
