Petals, purpose and a change of shade
Shira Berg’s sculptural lighting, Andrew Sun’s garden-inspired furniture, Simon Pearce’s charitable collection and a clever newcomer to window dressing.
Poetry, practicality—and something to feel good about giving. This week’s arrivals turn ceramic flowers into lighting, a garden walk into furniture and handcrafted glass into a gesture of support. Meanwhile, a new window treatment brand makes changing the fabric as appealing as raising the shades. Here’s what caught our eye this week.
It started with a vase—and a studio visitor who saw it in a different light. Launching Nov. 19, Shira Berg Ceramics’ lighting expansion pairs the sculptural Le Lamp with Le Sconce, a wall-mounted interpretation handcrafted in white stoneware. Both bring her ceramics’ texture and dimension to lighting, with enough presence to hold their own when switched off. Our favorite element? Le Sconce’s upward glow that brings the creamy floral relief into focus
A garden walk, translated into furniture. Designer Andrew Sun’s Interior Landscape draws on traditional Chinese gardens for a five-piece capsule exploring architectural geometry, reflection and atmosphere. The Bridge Table made its debut at COLLECTIBLE New York, joining the Fallen Petal Chair, Petaled Pillar Chair, Snowy Sofa and Pond Table in the full collection launched online earlier this month.
Good glass, greater purpose. Simon Pearce’s handcrafted LoveYourBrain Collection pairs the Vermont maker’s signature craftsmanship with a family cause, donating 20% of sales to LoveYourBrain. Founded by brothers Kevin and Adam Pearce after Kevin’s traumatic brain injury, the nonprofit supports people affected by brain injury and their caregivers through yoga, mindfulness and community programs. For the Thanksgiving host or the holiday gift list, think of it as good taste with a side of giving back.
A new name in window dressing, The Shadery gives the Roman shade a clever upgrade: motorized operation, smart home integration and interchangeable fabrics for a change of scene without replacing the entire shade. Now open to the trade, the debut collection offers nine prints in 40 colorways, plus 11 linen-blend solids.
