Our Crown of Thorns lamps and mirrors are made from hundreds of interlocking pieces of laser-cut stainless steel. This puzzle-like joinery technique, called Crown of Thorns, comes from Tramp Art, a Depression-era woodworking style pioneered by traveling salesmen. We’ve revived the lost art using steel in place of wood, which we assemble piece by piece in our studio in New Fairfield, Connecticut. We offer a range of electroplated finishes.

In our chainmail lighting and tapestry pieces, we reinterpret the ruggedness of medieval armor by pairing it with the delicate charm of American folk art. Stainless steel chainmail, woven in the traditional European 4-in- 1 pattern originating in 400 BCE, is adorned with gemstone beads in floral motifs. These patterns are sourced from historic tapestry templates, such as an 1888 issue of Peterson’s Magazine, blending masculine and feminine craftsmanship for a truly unique aesthetic. We offer a range of anodized finishes.

We based the design for our porcelain Edo Vase on a grainy black-and-white photo of a 19th-century bronze vase from Japan. Stored in the Metropolitan Museum’s archive, the vase is both curvaceous and angular—a difficult form to replicate in cast porcelain. The form also inspired our sconces, which utilize only the bottom portion of the form. Each form is fired in our in-studio kiln.
