A Debut Collaboration for Jamie Wolfond and Moooi
The Drape light captures Wolfond’s material-driven aesthetic and Moooi’s expertise in elegance
Toronto-based designer Jamie Wolfond has steadily established himself as a leader in the city’s design scene, known for his inventive approach to materials and thoughtful craftsmanship. Now, in his first collaboration with Dutch design brand Moooi, Wolfond introduces the Drape light, a lighting fixture that celebrates his material-driven aesthetic while positioning his vision to an international audience.
The pendant retails from approx. $2,500.
Suspended from sleek glass tubes that encapsulate LED lights, the Drape light features a flowing 3D-knitted polyester shade, creating a warm, atmospheric glow. Available in two sizes—78cm and 118cm—the light adapts to different spaces, offering a simple yet refined presence. For Moooi, a brand known for embracing bold, innovative designers, collaborating with Wolfond marks a natural partnership. “The essence of my design vision lies in material interaction, where the tension and flow of elements create a poetic dance of form and function,” Wolfond explains. The Drape light embodies this philosophy, resulting in a fixture that feels both modern and timeless.
Jamie Wolfond’s unique approach involves hands-on experimentation and collaboration.
