87.7 is a random confi guration of seven 87 pendants hung from a round
canopy. The pendants are designed to hang in a random confi guration at
times clustering and grouping together and others trailing off. The result is an
ambient installation or fi eld of light. The pendant drop lengths on this fi xture are
adjustable up to the specifi ed maximum.
A matrix of hot glass is stretched and folded back onto itself numerous times as
it cools. Air is trapped between the folds and stretched along the grain of the
loop, creating microfi laments that give the piece a pearlescent optical quality. A
LED light source is introduced at one end of the loop casting light through the
microfi laments and registering a gentle gradient.
