Christopher Boots
Christopher Boots is an Australian lighting designer whose love of natural materials shines through in all of his creations. Boots’s contemporary lighting fixtures are made from brass and quartz crystals, giving them an ethereal glow. His designs include spectacular chandeliers and pendant lights, geometric wall lights and sculptural table lamps.
Boots was born in 1979 in Melbourne, Australia. He initially studied linguistics and literature before graduating from the National School of Design in 2005 with a bachelor’s degree in industrial design. He apprenticed with pioneering lighting designer Geoffrey Mance and spent several years training in various lighting techniques before developing his unique style.
In 2011, Boots opened the Christopher Boots lighting studio and released his first collection. The studio was founded on the idea of material and metaphysical exploration, combining geometry, symmetry, pattern and symbology. Every piece is made by hand, using both traditional techniques and cutting-edge technology. Boots works with sculptors, ceramicists, glass blowers, coppersmiths and bronze casters to create luminous fixtures.
“I am influenced by nature primarily,” Boots told The Study, “the way nature works and evolves through mathematics, biology and time.” Taking inspiration from nature, many of Boots’s lighting fixtures are modeled after the forms of stalactite, which he describes as “beautiful yet completely haunting.”
Boots’s lighting designs have been showcased at the National Gallery of Victoria, Parliament House in Melbourne, Rossana Orlandi, Hermès in Melbourne and Cassina in Japan.

- Christopher Boots, "Diamond Ring", Pendant (450, Gradient Quartz), 2011By Christopher BootsLocated in Los Angeles, CACircles have had supernatural resonance since Antiquity, embodying concepts of continuity and completion. The magic ring draws power from its circular shape, an unbreakable border that both contains and concentrates energy. In DIAMOND RING SMOKY, quartz crystals appear to have bloomed from a circular frame. The crystalline growth radiates like magical residue, following the inward and outward flow of circular energy. Like an exploded geode, DIAMOND RING SMOKY reveals the mysteries of nature. Presented at Collective Design in New York in May 2017, the Smoky Gradient Diamond Ring is a unique light pendant that incorporates clear and smoky quartz crystal to add new visual weight to the original Diamond Ring...Category
