Sculptural Finds, Expressive Lighting & A Brownstone to Love
This week is all about bold silhouettes and luminous design—pieces that make a statement, lighting that doubles as sculpture, and a space that feels like a masterclass in layering history with personality.
Lighting isn’t just functional—it’s expressive.
Helena Tynell’s Bubble series is the perfect reminder of how glass and light can work together to create something almost ethereal.
Tynell, a Finnish designer working in the mid-century Scandinavian golden age (1950s–1970s), transformed molded glass into glowing, tactile sculptures. Her work blended bold geometry with organic textures, creating fixtures that feel as much like art as they do lighting.
If you're rethinking lighting in your space, consider fixtures that act as sculptural focal points rather than just sources of illumination. A well-placed sconce or pendant can shift the entire mood of a room.
Project Highlight: Beata Heuman’s Manhattan Brownstone
London-based designer Beata Heuman is known for her ability to merge Scandinavian practicality with playful elegance. Her work feels like a study in contrasts—deeply imaginative, yet rooted in history and function.
Her Manhattan Brownstone project is a perfect example of this. Every detail is layered with intention, from rich textures to unexpected color combinations. It’s a space that feels whimsical yet livable, character-rich yet comfortable—a delicate balance that few designers achieve with such ease.
