WHO ARE YOU?

Hi, I'm Christopher Boots.

I'm driven by a love of nature and light, with a commitment to excellence in pursuing intellectual, philosophical and spiritual avenues, along with a keen eye for good design.

Trained in Industrial Design, my focus is creating lighting, interpreted as sculptural objects through the lens of classical and metaphysical worlds, honouring elegant proportions with precision; along the journey, I'm referencing mythical ideas on creation, change, and evolution.

I'm a dedicated craftsman, seeking to elevate, honour and transform materials in ways that highlight their natural beauty. After studying literature, media and linguistics, I graduated from the National School of Design in Melbourne, establishing my studio in early 2011, releasing my first lighting collection later that year.

My work has been displayed at Hermès, Rossana Orlandi, Cartier, the National Gallery of Victoria, Parliament House, Cassina (Japan), amongst countless private collections in New York, Dubai, Tokyo, Moscow and Paris.

I live in Melbourne, Australia, and in the Before Times, spent several months of the year between Los Angeles and the European Union.

WHY DID YOU MAKE THIS SITE?

Humankind progresses by adding layer upon layer of knowledge. We all benefit from the insights of our ancestors.

I like the idea of leaving a great intellectual inheritance, and I’m trying to add a little bit of what I found useful.

I wanted a place to share remarkable ideas and actionable insights, carefully curated from the Internet.
Topics include health, happiness, creativity, productivity, astrology, and the twenty-first century in general.

Two central questions drive me:

“How can we live better?"

"How do we pass wisdom to future generations?"
