Inspired by stages of the lunar cycle, the wall-mounted Phase sconce takes on a half-spherical form. Half of it shines brightly through cast glass, while the other is coated in a chrome finish to create a more diffuse, subdued glow. It can be installed in varying orientations to direct light in the desired direction.
The Notch sconce projects light from the top, bottom, and core of its elongated rectangular body, which is cut with a cube-shaped, hollow cut-out.
Well-versed in digital illustration, the Reykjavík-based designer Siggi Odds and his stuido Børk look to quilts as a tactile medium for their designs. Production stalled despite a successful launch of prototypes in 2014—but we’re still hoping to see these digitally printed pieces, inspired by Icelandic landscapes and folklore, launched to market.
