Since the couple think of the addition as an “extrusion,” they “carried that theme to the rest of the house with the vertical fixtures on the stair and the vertical slats in the bathroom vanity,” says Jason.

Congrats to the boys—Theo Richardson, Charles Brill, and Alexander Williams—behind New York's Rich, Brilliant, Willing. This was their first year showing at the ICFF, and the trio snagged an Editors Award for New Designer.

The aluminum extrusion of Channel (on the right) houses a strip of LEDs, with a hickory mast made at a factory that manufactures broomstick handles.
