New York-based lighting manufacturer RBW works together with designer Little Wing Lee from Studio & Projects to work on four new lighting designs. This includes the Cape, the Cuff, the Crepe, and the Copia. These came to fruition through a casual conversation exploring how sconce designs are delightful in material obsession.
Lee explains, āIām a bit of a researcher at heart, so I always love to start and to ground a project by looking at basic things like context, location, and function. We value curiosity and the integration of diverse influences to create meaningful and thoughtful designs.ā Lee draws inspiration from various sources for a diverse influence that comes together to form a single fixture in the collection.
