CONCEPT STATEMENT:

We no longer rely on candles to keep us out of the dark, but candlelight has always filled our lives–setting the stage for warm dinners, intimate evenings, gatherings of all kinds. We wanted to create a fixture that captures that atmosphere and sentiment— almost like a call from our past to our future. At high, Wick is twice as bright as a traditional candle, but without risk of fire. Timeless and cordless, Wick adapts to and fits a broad variety of contexts, from a hotel room to a bustling restaurant patio, to a romantic, evening picnic. This team designs objects that fit into the texture of the design landscape, and with the renewed emphasis on making the everyday special that recent times have brought, Wick is a heart-warming answer to the moment. Wick has three lighting levels and a pulse mode, lasting up to 100 hours.

PROJECT SPECS:

Wick is constructed with an aluminum body, plated in satin brass, with an ergonomic carrying ring referencing classic candleholders. Wick has an USB-C rechargeable battery within, with a battery life of over a hundred hours on the lowest setting, with a minimum of 6 hours at its brightest.

CONCEPT STATEMENT:

Pillar is designed for tethering. This monolith form defines spaces and guards boundaries, marking the passage from one place to another. The solid, naturally treated teak base reflects the downward light out, creating a textured, distinguished glow.

Designed for behaviors and movements within and across spaces more than particular places, the entire collection is portable and cordless for both indoor and light outdoor use.

PROJECT SPECS:

Pillar is precision machined from teak wood and solid aluminum and anodized with a rich satin black or plated with brass and finished in a hand patina. 8.5" x 8.5" x 30". Pillar features integrated LED and powered by an internal rechargeable battery for true portability.
