Stitch is a four-foot linear fixture shaped by a translucent material with an organic feel. Stitch was developed with a focus on sustainability. All unnecessary components have been stripped away, and non-recyclable materials have been reduced. Its non-woven fabric works as a diffuser, requiring fewer materials; eliminating the need for traditional polymer lenses means less plastic waste is destined for landfills and oceans. 

Shipping with only a few components and collapsible features, Stitch is 60% lighter than a typical 4-foot linear fixture. The overall shipping impact is estimated to be reduced by as much as 66%. Up to 96 Stitch multipack fixtures can fit on 1 standard shipping pallet. 

To put that into context, if these fixtures ship 500 miles from our factory in Oceanside to San Francisco, we save 70 kg of C02. Stitch is also Declare label listed, which enhances transparency and simplifies material tracking. The Declare label identifies Stitch’s components, including red list-free, non-harmful chemicals such as the electrical wiring.
