Illuminating the American-Made Artist Movement

We’re committed to building relationships with forward-thinking craftspeople, as well as promoting and nurturing American artistry and creativity.

Our commitment to community extends beyond our studio, as we partner with artists who push the boundaries of design, blending their unique perspectives with our vision. Together, we’re shaping the future of American-made lighting, celebrating the innovation and heritage that define our work.

Product collaborations with American artists who are pushing the bounds of design will continue to be part of our story.
