Lighting: Collection
City 05 Dec blurb
“With names like Pharos, Aurora, Stamen, and Binary, Jeremy Pyles’ new collection of hand-blown glass lighting in muted shades of translucent amber, smoke, and dark gray look like creatures you’d find living deep in the ocean. The glow from their low-wattage exposed bulbs (included) is the perfect companion to your favorite book on a rainy day in the city, or for ending a dinner party amongst close friends.
The pendants’ true beauty comes from their simplicity as the collection stunningly reduces the concept of lighting to its barest essential.
Even changing the bulbs is an organic experience; Reaching your hand inside the Binary feels like plucking ripened fruit about to fall from a tree.”
-CITY, December 2005
Our Pharos, Aurora, Stamen, and Binary, pendants caught the eye of CITY, the Magazine as some of their best examples of modern ‘luxury’ for 2005! See more of our handmade lights here.

In the Modern World
Dwell 05 Sept blurb
“Light Fixtures by Jeremy Pyles for Niche: In botany, a flower is considered perfect if it contains both male (stamen) and female (pistil) reproductive organs. And while Mr. Pyles was definitely focused on the masculine character of both his Stamen (right) and Bell Jar (middle) designs with their elongated bulbs, the delicate structure of the surrounding glass is unmistakably feminine. His Terra Quattro fixture (left) contains a corresponding number of standard bulbs. Each is available in smoke, dark gray, and a particularly stunning amber tone.”
– Dwell, September 2005
