Organic materials, patterns, and shapes are recurrent themes in Mandy’s collection, seen in fixtures like Lauz. Merging earthy textures with understated elegance, this sconce adds just the right amount of laid-back coastal style to any small space. Named after one of Mandy’s closest friends, its jute-wrapped shade and clean, minimalist form add a dose of texture to minimalist surroundings.
While Mandy loves color, she chose a pared-down palette for her Mitzi collection. Whether you’re working within a pared-down design concept, or want to use your lighting to create breathing room in a maximalist scheme, fixtures like Janie are perfect. It combines unique, contemporary silhouettes with a traditional framework for a fixture that is simplified, yet sculptural.
Mandy often pulls inspiration from her memory bank, and the Sheri family is no exception. Named after her college roommate, it features a timeless design with a soft fringe and woven fibers that recall the landscape of their shared days in Santa Barbara. The shade serves as a striking focal point in a living room or dining room, casting a soft, inviting glow that’s perfect for gathering with friends.
Lighting has been called the jewelry of a room, but sometimes, designers draw inspiration from actual jewelry. Take the Abbie family as an example. Named after one of Mandy’s earliest childhood friends, it makes a bold and beautiful statement, reflecting both the vibrant presence of her friend and the jewelry she often wears. It would make a striking lighting moment along a hallway or above a bed.
Every piece in this collection is designed to suit a variety of settings and be utilized according to your needs. While the forms are streamlined, the materiality and details are surprising and statement-making. See for yourself – explore the Mandy Cheng x Mitzi collection now!
