"These fixtures have a tactile reference, almost as a
marionette for lighting. As designers, we curate an
experience literally from the ground up, and having
the ability to manipulate products at our fingertips
offers an added benefit over using stock products
with a single intended installation method."

"What better way to make an interior fun than with
a mirrored globe? Incorporating these in various
scales and heights could provide a unique impact,
especially in an atrium space with vertical volume.
Even buttoned-up interiors need a whimsical
moment to bring out the kid in all of us (not to
mention the 'selfie potential')."

"The infinite range in possibility for this product
invites the mind to wander. These fixtures could be
installed individually, in a rhythmic manner, as
a sequence, or scattered randomly. They beg
for a very large surface to illuminate."

"Inspiration for these New York-crafted fixtures
came from scraps lying around the designer's shop.
Made from sustainably harvested or salvaged wood,
these warm, minimal pendants mix well into just
about any environment and come in lengths
ranging from 4 to 12 feet."

"The low profile, durability, and structural flexibility
of this fully encapsulated line of LED lights opens
a whole new set of design possibilities for both
indoors and out."

"A functionally beautiful work lamp designed by
Pablo, the Circa's dimmable 360-degree light offers
flexibility with floor, wall, and pendant versions,
all while providing USB charging ports for your
personal devices."

"View is a linear fixture with electrical wires within
the suspension cables. Great for uplighting or
downlighting, this fixture could be used in office,
education, or retail environments. I like the minimal
aesthetic because it is so flexible."

"I really like the Branching series, which comes in a
variety of finishes with beautiful hand-blown glass
lights. The company does custom work so you can
have the branches be more vertical or more linear.
I am hoping to use them in a break room with a long
communal table."

"I like this light because of the diamond shape
that comes in a wide range of finishes and colors.
Mixing up a bunch of them would make for a fun
application. One of our designers just specified
several for her kitchen at home."
