Since the very first time I put design on paper many decades ago, I've had a magnetic connection to the power of lighting - big or small, in almost any shape, such simplicity carries weight. It’s been my honor to create a collection of fixtures that both speak to my trademarked aesthetic and bring textures & finishes to a collection that represents what you'll already find in our work, and in designs I'd put in my own home.
In this collection, every detail was considered, every application and combination. I want you to feel like you have a piece of my heart with every fixture you purchase and can hear my voice when making your own design choices. This collection is filled with pieces in almost every lighting category from decorative lighting to task lighting, all that can be used independently and/or as a combination within a design scheme.
Glass but make it MOODY! A delicate material mixed with a vintage inspired age bringing in a colorway reminiscent of a delicious latte! Anniebee is an irresistible addition to your home or hallway.
Whether as a pendant light or flush mount, Corissa's silhouette exudes depth and character, making a chic statement in hallways and kitchens.
This fixture is named Danna, like “Anna” with a D, and the D standing for DRAMA! Slender candlesticks resembling torches support clear glass orbs as they illuminate modern interiors with a sense of retro flair.
With the desire for a highly textural finish but in a deeper, moodier color than the wicker or rattan of the past, the Destiny family of light fixtures embodies a lightweight and casual feel while using a rich palette.
The largest of the collection, the six light Harperrose chandelier is PROUD and can command attention in any room.
The finish of the Kel table lamp was inspired by the glaze of handmade zellige tile, in a perfect muted shade. Celebrating the beauty of nature, this table lamp blends rustic and refined elements.
Pretty as a picture, the Priscilla wall light is simple and task-oriented while being much edgier than other picture lights. Your art and mirrors will thank you!
Rachie was designed to add texture where it may not always be possible! Inspired by raw beauty of the desert, this whitewashed terracotta table lamp is calm and refreshing.
Ray was designed for those hard-to-specify places where a can would normally be placed. Ray serves as a powerful downlight. The reactive white ceramic resembles a limestone wash, adding texture and a rustic beauty.
This playful wall lamp was designed with conversation in mind! Its squiggly arm was inspired by a pencil’s lead line while drawing an abstract shape! With high usability and style, Romee adds a pop of interest to any interior space.
Inspired by the dainty gold jewelry we’re all layered with, Sutter is edgy and unexpected! Merging modern simplicity with decorative flair, Sutter plays with parallels.
