"The brass sconces are inspired by traditional candle fixtures often found in old farmhouses. The lines are simplified and honed to reveal their modern essence. The brass bell pendants take their inspiration from the cow bells used on prized livestock, then given contemporary scale and sexy leather trim." - Nicole Hollis
Nicole Hollis interior design studio recently sent some images of a few custom lights she completed for a restaurant in Northern California. These forms a reduced to pure classic geometry, a meditation on the capability of light. The custom lights were a collaboration with Phoenix Day, a family owned business in San Francisco creating hand-crafted lighting fixtures for interior designers. Phoenix Day is the 6th oldest operating business in San Francisco! - David John
"This lighting was designed for the restaurant Farmer + Fox at the new Cairdean Vineyards in St Helena, California, opening later this spring. For the winery, located in the heart of wine country, I worked with a lexicon of rural and agricultural motifs. The brass sconces are inspired by traditional candle fixtures often found in old farmhouses.
The lines are simplified and honed to reveal their modern essence. The brass bell pendants take their inspiration from the cow bells used on prized livestock, then given contemporary scale and sexy leather trim. Cow bells also serve as beacons for the animals so it made sense that these lights would add warmth and welcome to the restaurant. The design references an agriculture lifestyle while at the same time creating a refined and glamorous interior. "
