Used for centuries as a tool for teaching and communicating mathematics, the abacus was found in one form or another throughout the ancient world. At Terzani, we saw beauty in the abacus's mathematical purity and clean, functional design. Working with Terzani's artisans, we've turned this inspiration into a new collection of modular pendant lights whose flexibility allows for complex and beautiful configurations. Each Abacus module, or strand, is made from a custom array of hand-blown round opal glass that emits a soft, even light. And, because the original abacus was used to calculate everything from simple addition to complex formulas, we've retained the same scalability. Because of its customization, our Abacus light is as suitable in a home as it is in a commercial space, and its near-infinite configurations ensure you always find the right solution.
