Test Headline

A study in ergonomics, this bottle opener seeks to express a simplicity of form with a maximum understanding of function. What at a glance seems like little more than a wooden block with a nail in it turns out to have impeccably considered detail and various functionality.

CHURCH CHANDELIER

The Church Chandelier utilizes a three-part axis of symmetry to provide welcome visual intrigue to rectilinear spaces.

CHURCH CHANDELIER

Visually light, the Church Chandelier expands out in all directions.

Production and prototyping took place in our Studio shop. Physical prototyping is an important part of our approach, and allows the inherent properties of each material to inform the finished product. Watch as Hannah connects the dots between the machines - from the drill press to the jump shear - to create our mirror, which relies on every part to create a coherent, balanced whole.

BLOCK SHOP TEXTILES X BRS HOOD LAMP

We are excited to announce a new collaboration that kept us crafting during the early moments of quarantine. With our studios closed and production on hold, these lights tell the story of two LA design studios coming together during a pandemic.

We reached out to our friends, the Stockman sisters who run Block Shop Textiles, about making use of our discontinued lighting parts with their hand block printed scarves. After some back and forth and a few late nights in the shop, a prototype was born. A limited collection of the plug-in Hood Lamp.

ADA CORTEN IS BACK

The Japanese ideology of Wabi-Sabi embraces the beauty of the imperfect and the transient grace of ever-changing nature. In Wabi-Sabi, true beauty's luster grows with time and use. Ada Corten was designed in pursuit of this ideal. These fixtures currently ship in 2-4 weeks until inventory runs out. After that the lead time will increase slightly while we produce another batch based on the response we get from you -- we're excited to hear your feedback!

DOUBLE CHURCH CHANDELIER

During the summer, the structure opens to face the pond. With a large open face and a retractable roof, the structure has the ability to open itself up the pleasant island atmosphere. To avoid pest problems, an optional zipper-up screen can be put in place.

During the winter, the roof is closed and a flat packed plywood skin is taken from under the foundation platform and “wrapped” around the walls of the tea house to protect the interior from the extreme Northern climate. A large reclaimed barn window illuminates the tea house from the back side. The beautiful pane was actually found on sight and incoporated into the design on the fly.

GRAIN PENDANT

The aluminum shade of our Grain Pendants is formed over a wooden mold that has been sandblasted to raise the wood grain. Through the metal spinning process, real wood grain is impressed on the finished pendant, creating a shade that is both organic in feel and modern in look.

GRAIN BARREL

Simple in shape and visually light, the Grain Barrel’s sides reflect and illuminate the vertical wood grain pattern imparted on the shade during spinning.

GRAIN SCONCE

A flexible and customizable option, our Grain Sconces allow Grain Pendants and Barrels to be turned into wall mounted fixtures.

During childhood years in Cote d’Ivoire and summers in coastal Maine, Brendan fell in love with the functional beauty of working tools and wooden boats. His father curated a show called the Art of the Personal Object at the Smithsonian when he was a kid. Brendan received a Sculpture degree from Oberlin College in 2001 and a Masters in Industrial Design from RISD in 2009. He loves taking tours of factories and the smell of cedar shavings.

ADA 25

Our largest version, the Ada Sconce 25 is equally at home placed vertically alongside the front door or casting a wall-washing light over a vanity mirror.

We were approached by Warby Parker with a unique prompt: to transform the hand mirror. A design initiative meant to reimagine this classic typology; material and fabrication were up to us, the only constraint being that the mirror remain functional and lightweight enough for everyday use.

title:

We sought to make a piece that was both useful in the hand and interesting on the table, and honored our practice of creating conversation around material and process. 

title:

The mirrors are being put to the test in Warby Parker’s New York and Los Angeles stores through November 11th, and will be auctioned off to support Free Arts, which offers free arts education to underserved kids and teens in both cities. Visit our mirror in person or bid on it via Paddle8.

ADA 25

Fully wet rated, the modern sheet metal construction of Ada is a dynamic counterpoint to natural textures and materials outdoors.

We started exploring materials that had reflective properties and were drawn to folded sheet metal for its thinness and for the beauty and structure that can be created through its folds.
