Engineering the Terra Spot
The Terra Spot is a bit like an iceberg… the bit you can see is just a small part of the actual light.
The main body, including the visible terracotta rim is made as one piece of ceramic that sits in the ceiling recess, held in place by springs behind the plasterboard. The white glazed insert ring uses a twist-in action to grip into the body and hold the light bulb in place. It looks simple, but there are actually many bespoke designed aspects that can’t be seen- several metal pieces and a silicone piece to grip the insert.
