L&G PRODUCT FEATURE - Aura

aura gif.gif

Today we explore a L&G 'classic' - the Aura Pendant, our very first lamp.   Created in 2012, it was designed as a pure expression of artificial light beginning with the light bulb as the essential unit.  From there, a simple gesture - the brass ring - highlights the act of illumination exposing a delicate glowing halo surrounding the luminaire. 

In our minds, nothing more was required to celebrate the wonder of modern lighting.

We believe our responsibility as designers is to celebrate the simple ingredients that make the mundane magnificent.  After all, the very idea of artificial light is a modern marvel we take for granted everyday.

Getting down to the essentials is the most challenging and rewarding part of design exploration.  We believe reductionism is one way to discover honest answers about an object's function, form, and soul.  Aura is a celebration of this approach as well as the beginning of our fascination with light, shadow, and texture began.

The Aura collection is available in a variety of finishes and configurations from small pendants to large clusters.  Each provides simple lightweight solutions to accent surrounding spaces.

Natural Selection Lookbook FINISHED!

We're SOOOOO very excited to share our very first lookbook!
We simply can't wait to share this 70 page lookbook with y'all through the magic of the world wide web!
click "EXPAND" to see it full screen! (This whole online publishing is freakin' amazing!)

Launching Natural Selection has been a total learning experience for us. It challenged us in so many great ways and also lead us to so many wonderful opportunities to collaborate with talented people we've admired.
Besides this being first attempt in creating a furniture & lighting product line, it was also our first collaborative project with an artist, Ashley Helvey, our first time having a professional photographer like Charlie Schuck help us take fantastic studio shots, our first time showing at Noho Design District during NY Design Week, which then lead to our first feature in Surface Magazine!
We couldn't be any happier with all the great responses we've been getting so far!
We really hope that this can lead to some more exciting opportunities down the line!
