VESSEL by 3M + Todd Bracher

3M Architectural Surface Finishes

For their second collaboration, 3M Architectural Markets and designer Todd Bracher have paired their respective engineering smarts and design sensibility for VESSEL by 3M™ + Todd Bracher. Initially available as a pendant or sconce, this crystal clear cylindrical light is made of durable and elegant quartz crystal. Designed especially for the hospitality market, with the restaurant industry in mind, VESSEL is perfectly calibrated to eliminate residual LED glare and cast the table, bar or wall in a soft circle of uniform white light.VESSEL accomplishes the specific market need of a bright but glare-free light through its solid quartz construction and refined shape. Light from a single LED at the top of the fixture is launched into the solid cylindrical body which traps the light until it exits at the bottom of the fixture with a carefully controlled distribution. Each of VESSEL’s design and engineering decisions was purposefully made with intelligence and understanding. The light throw is designed for a standard four-foot dining table and creates no hotspots in the center or shadows on the side. The quartz’s crystal clear properties serve as a house for the light, lending a bright illumination whose source is hardly visible to the naked eye. The light itself is thoughtfully designed to complement food, diners, and its surrounding environment. Quartz’s scratch resistant properties also made it a key material choice.
