Three Glowing Lighting Designs from David Rockwell with Rich Brilliant Willing

Marking its first collaboration with an outside firm, Brooklyn-based studio Rich Brilliant Willing has teamed with the eponymous designer of Rockwell Group to create a trio of customizable LED lighting designs. (For more RBW designs, stay tuned for our story on RBW cofounder Charles Brill's Gowanus home in our upcoming October 2016 Furniture issue.)

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.

Concealed LED lights add to the allure of the Notch sconce, and create a soft glow against its brass interior.

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 geometric, modular Witt lighting system was inspired by the form of traditional chandeliers. Soft, frosted globular lights are placed within a cubic, geometric frame, then hung from slim suspension cables to give the appearance of a dramatic, floating effect.

The Witt can be customized and extended to elongated to varying sizes, as shown, or stacked and hung in multiples to create a space-defining installation.
