Layer by layer: Opulent lighting at NYCxDesign

Brittain’s striking geometric lighting designs reference architectural forms as well as Victorian balancing toys. They include customised brass hardware in a variety of metallic finishes enclosing LED tube lighting.

Hellström is known for creating tactile surfaces from jesmonite, building up objects layer by layer in a box and then carving out their contours with a CNC milling machine. The resulting objects display marbleised patterns that are geological, but unlike anything seen in nature.

The two designers’ combined talents resulted in a colourful collection of objects that are both opulent and contemporary.
