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.

- Contemporary Brass Light Pendant, Nephentes Cordon/Tendril by Christopher BootsBy Christopher BootsLocated in Warsaw, PLContemporary Brass Light Pendant, Nephentes by Christopher Boots In Greek mythology, Nepenthes is a magical substance that quells all sorrows. NEPENTHES is inspired by the carnivorous plant Nepenthaceae, named after this mythical, soporific potion. The flamboyant Nepenthaceae seduce their prey with enticing interiors, sweet scents and sugary nectar. NEPENTHES expresses these dangerous but pleasurable properties through a sculptural contrast between the hard geometry of solid brass tendrils and the glowing delicacy of amorphous hand blown glass.
