New York City-based design firm Studio Luddite creates the Pell Chandelier, which is a piece that uses stacked concentric circles and raw-edged materials. The design features leather materials, which boasts a full-grain feel and it is most notably adaptable to any space. The light is custom to suit the amount of fixtures and drop heights in a home.
The founder of Studio Luddite, Lex Zee notes, “As our process evolved, we found ourselves increasingly drawn to the edges of the leather rather than the surface itself. This resulted in a fixture comprised of stacked leather hide disks forming the body of the fixture. While traditionally, fine leather goods feature treated or burnished edges, our components are left raw, showcasing the natural imperfections of the material."
