Cerine Sconce for Trueing
Lighting just got a major glow up. The Cerine Sconce is basically industrial chain lighting’s cooler, way more aesthetic cousin. It is handcrafted from forged brass, giving it that forever chic vibe, and features a bulb chilling inside a brass cage that hangs from a chain. It is super easy to customize for whatever vibe you are going for.This piece dropped through a collab with design brand Trueing, making its debut back in 2019 at pas de Calais, a dreamy Japanese fashion store in Soho, NYC. It is a mix of edgy and elegant that just hits different.Trueing’s founders, Aiden Bowman and Josh Metersky, pulled inspo from everything from delicate gold chains to rugged shipyard metal and the fancy facades of Beaux Arts buildings. They blended all those vibes into a piece that feels both raw and luxe at the same time.

Oscar Picollo
Oscar Picollo is that multi-hyphenate creative, a Sicilian art director, sculptor, and photographer who basically turns everyday lighting into full on art. His lamps are not just functional, they are legit sculptures.Picollo’s collabs are just as iconic. He teamed up with Carlotta Guerrero, the same artist who shot Solange's Seat at the Table album cover, on an art driven music video celebrating Black empowerment. That creative energy flows right into Oscar’s pieces. You can find his dreamy Pleated Lamps in places like the stunning Numeroventi boutique hotels in Florence. They feel like little beacons of cozy, artsy magic, perfect for anyone who wants their space to feel like a Renaissance painting made modern.

Léa Mestres
Straight out of the design world’s artsy hotspot Eindhoven, Léa Mestres is shaking up Paris with her colorful, playful energy. After finishing her master’s in conceptual design, she built a studio where creativity runs wild.Her thing is textured plaster light sculptures that are soft, glowy, and lowkey feel like they are from a dreamy cartoon world. These pieces are like big warm hugs in lamp form, perfect for cozy bedrooms, studios, or even bougie office lobbies. Léa blurs the line between art and design, creating pieces that do not just light up a room, they totally change its mood. Her work proves that functional objects can still be full on art pieces.

In Common With
Born in Brooklyn and founded by RISD grads Nicholas Ozemba and Felicia Hung, In Common With said goodbye to boring luxury lighting. They are all about making custom design feel approachable and way more fun.

The result is lighting that feels warm, artsy, and actually unique.
