## Perforated Light Magic
Leanne Kilroy found vintage perforated tin pendants in her kitchen that created magical light patterns.

> The way the light would play through the perforations and bounce off the wall was pure magic
## First Good Bones Collection
Kilroy’s first collaboration with UK lighting brand Plank sold out when released earlier this year.
## Lighting Design Philosophy
Practical scale and design elements with no visible screws make pieces that last long without hurting hands.

> Practical scale and design elements, mixed with beautiful shapes and no visible screws, make pieces that will stand the test of time
## Aster Light Functionality
The Aster light can be used as a spotlight or flush mount with no shade to bounce light off its metal base.

> Even the Aster, which has no shade, plays with the way light hits the multi-faceted metal base and bounces off
## Star Motif in Hardware
Both the Aster light and Cecilia backplate feature an 8-point star that bounces light beautifully.

> It’s a common motif in traditional metalwork, and Kilroy likes it most for the way it "bounces light in the most beautiful way" when the Aster is on
## Tiny Hardware Benefits
Kilroy designed hardware smaller than most knobs to fit into busy homes without overpowering spaces.

> Maybe there’s an idea that bigger is better, but I think more subtle pieces allow for more personality, and more flexibility in how they are used
## Safety Features
The Drop Pull and Swing Pull have invisible stops to prevent damage when swinging back onto furniture.

> They swing freely and then (very satisfyingly) stop short of the furniture behind
## Key takeaway

Leanne Kilroy designed tiny hardware for lighting that fits into homes without overwhelming spaces.
