Chorus is a collection of compact wall and ceiling lights with a concentric circular form, designed in collaboration by DesignOffice and Coco Flip. Chorus originated as a prototype within Coco Flip's Dancer Editions project for Melbourne Design Week 2025 and has since been developed into a resolved production piece across three materials. The project brings together a wider group of makers and craftspeople, including ceramic artist Belinda Wiltshire. Its name refers to this collective process: multiple voices, materials, and hands contributing to a single outcome.
The light's concentric geometry is carefully proportioned. Illumination is concealed within the form, casting a warm glow and accentuating the shadow produced by the object's own profile. Chorus holds presence whether illuminated or not. When switched off, the form remains on the wall as a considered circular object rather than receding into it as dormant hardware.
Chorus is available in three finishes: cast aluminium, cast brass, and mid-fire clay. The brass and aluminium versions are sand-cast, a process that leaves a subtle texture across the surface, then finished by hand, which softens the form and refines the finish. The ceramic version is hand-thrown and glazed with black iron oxide, producing a dark, matte surface. Across all three, the process is hands-on and the results individual: no two pieces are identical.
The circular form, in combination with the concealed light source, produces a ring of warm light against the wall. Chorus works as a single fixture or repeated across a wall in linear or grid arrangements.
A small light, with a strong and considered presence.
