Iacoli & McAllister is the Seattle based design studio formed by Jamie Iacoli & Brian McAllister. Rather than being concerned with innovation, they strive to perfect their craft; that of proportion, scale, color, and fabrication. And we only want to make this stuff in the U.S. Their process is one part exploration, one part learning curve, one part affection, one part sheer strife, and one part caffeine.
What began as one-offs morphed into the Seattle studio’s first in-house collection, which debuted this spring at ICFF. Pieces like this marble-topped table with copper legs exude a relaxed West Coast vibe.
It’s brass, geometric, made by one of our favorite up-and-coming studios, and it’s not attached to a key chain. Need we say more?
Pros: It’s short and squat, but this lamp's stubby looks—matte black shade, oiled oak legs, and aqua cord—grew on us. Changing bulbs is a breeze—just reach in from the top. The design also accommodates LEDs, which are often awkwardly sized. Just keep ’em at 75 watts or under.
Cons: This was our favorite lamp of the group. Too bad it takes four weeks to get. Each one is made by hand in Iacoli & McAllister’s two-person Seattle studio
