Richard Haining, STACKED 10 Bulb Chandelier, 2026
Richard Haining’s STACKED 10 Bulb Chandelier transforms salvaged walnut into a luminous architectural presence. At 60 inches in diameter, this monumental work expands upon the artist’s celebrated 36-inch chandelier, merging influences from Art Nouveau and the American Studio Craft movement through Haining’s distinctly contemporary approach to design. Crafted from thousands of individually stacked pieces of reclaimed wood sourced from New York City’s discarded architectural and industrial landscape, the chandelier embodies a process of renewal. Built layer by layer like a coiled ceramic vessel or an analog 3D print, each form is shaped by hand before being refined into a seamless surface. The subtle shifts in color and grain reveal the material’s previous life—preserving a visible record of time, place, and transformation within a singular sculptural object.
What role does craftsmanship play in this Product?
Craftsmanship is at the heart of Richard Haining’s STACKED Collection. Produced entirely by hand in the artist’s Brooklyn studio, each chandelier is built from thousands of individually stacked pieces of reclaimed wood, assembled layer by layer without the use of CNC machining, digital fabrication, or mass-production techniques. This labor-intensive process allows Haining to respond directly to the material, preserving the unique variations in color, grain, and history found in the salvaged wood. Created in a small, single-artist workshop, every piece reflects a commitment to material authenticity, individuality, and the enduring value of handmade design in an era increasingly defined by automation.
Brown Jordan 301
Calcutta Lounge Chair
At Brown Jordan, skilled artisans transform the finest materials into outdoor furniture that looks like sculpture and lives like an heirloom. Few pieces embody that legacy more than the Calcutta Lounge Chair — part of the storied Chinese Chippendale-inspired collection originally designed by Hall Bradley in 1967 and reimagined on a grander scale by John Caldwell in 2007. Every detail is the product of patient handwork, from the upholstering to the building of the frame itself, hand-buffed to a jewel-like smoothness and finished with the precision only handheld tools can achieve.

What role does craftsmanship play in this Product?
Craftsmanship plays a central role in this product by ensuring that both form and function are thoughtfully refined to meet the needs of homeowners and design professionals. It begins with careful listening to feedback from designers and their clients, which allows integrators to provide solutions that are precisely tailored to how people live and design their spaces. This attention to detail ensures that every element of the product reflects real-world preferences and evolving design trends. The result of this craftsmanship is evident in the flush-mount keypad’s seamless integration into the wall, where it is designed to virtually disappear and create a clean, architectural finish. With four premium colors to choose from, textured white, black, almond, and grey, these keypads will complement any décor. These premium finishes ensure the keypad looks as intentional as the rest of the design. This level of precision highlights a commitment to subtlety and restraint, allowing the surrounding architecture and interior design to remain the focal point rather than the technology itself. Craftsmanship is also expressed through the product’s adaptability and refined design features. Its smaller footprint, ultra-low profile, and flexible mounting options demonstrate careful engineering that prioritizes both aesthetics and usability. These qualities allow the keypad to complement a designer’s vision rather than compete with it, reinforcing the idea that well-crafted technology should enhance a space without overpowering it. Finally, the product’s craftsmanship extends to its ability to simplify and elevate the user experience. By consolidating multiple controls into a single, streamlined interface, it reduces visual clutter and supports a broader movement toward invisible technology. This thoughtful integration of functionality and minimal design reflects a high level of craftsmanship that balances performance with a refined, modern aesthetic.

Atlas
Atlas is a woven rug developed in close collaboration with Barber Osgerby. The design reflects a shared interest in allowing the loom’s inherent logic to guide form and surface. Constructed with a double-weft technique, the rug has a substantial feel with a surface defined by depth and tonal variation. In Atlas, the warp threads remain visible within the weave — an uncommon feature that contributes texture and a subtle shift in light across the rug. The interplay between warp and weft gives it a layered character, where color is integrated deep into its structure. Grounded and textural, Atlas is suited to architectural interiors where a strong material integrity and presence is central.
What role does craftsmanship play in this Product?
Craftsmanship is at the core of Atlas. The rug’s double-weft construction and visible warp threads require exceptional weaving expertise, resulting in a surface rich in texture, depth, and tonal variation. Rather than being hidden, the construction becomes part of the design, allowing the skill of the weavers to be expressed through the rug’s materiality, structure, and refined finish.

Birdsong Pillow
Lyrical and richly layered, Birdsong captures a moment of pure vitality-a radiant bird in flight above a lush garden in full bloom. The design unfolds through a masterful interplay of techniques: first printed on raw silk, then brought to life with delicate embroidery, metallic beadwork, and softly shimmering sequins. A natural raffia tail extends from the bird, adding movement and dimension, swaying gently as if caught mid-flight. The artistry continues beyond the front: turn the pillow over to discover butterflies flitting across the back, an unexpected detail that completes the story. Expressive, intricate, and full of wonder, Birdsong is a celebration of craftsmanship-and a true surprise from every angle.
