Blue Green Works, the New York City design studio helmed by Peter B. Staples, is debuting a new series of pendant lamps that transform the architecture of skateboarding into a striking design statement. Currently on display in Chinatown, this collection transforms wood—typically a structural component—into a bold focal point to highlight its innate beauty.
The Wood Pendant series comes in three versatile configurations—Large, Small, and Stacked—with the option to choose from White Oak or Black Walnut finishes. The modular design allows for customization, enabling the pendants to be stacked or reconfigured to suit a wide range of spaces.
Set to launch on December 16, The Wood Pendant collection will be showcased in a temporary installation at Time Again.
