Bec Brittain is a designer based in New York City and she recently debuted a collection of Gemini lights. There is a total of 27 stylishly minimalist products, spanning a variety of silhouettes -- from hanging pendants to scone and table lamps. Each fixture has a twin, some are even conceived as a group of three (or, simply, "triplets").
Bec Brittain plays around with the concept of twins. Each lamp in the Gemini lights collection has a twin, however, the fixtures are not identical. In fact, the designer introduces small, but impactful, differences between each pair. This can be something like a "knitted cord versus a braided cord" or a different methodology of color.
Contrary to intuition, the Gemini lights are sold individually.
