Silk-adorned lanterns emit a cozy radiance by Workstead
Introducing the Lantern Pendant Lighting Collection by Workstead
The Lantern pendant lighting collection, a masterpiece by Workstead, is a high-end, handcrafted lighting line that combines fashion-inspired craftsmanship with architectural lighting. This collection, meticulously handmade in the American South by a third-generation, family-run workshop, offers both aesthetic refinement and functional softness in light diffusion, rooted deeply in American craft traditions.
The collection's star piece, the Lantern pendant lamp, is designed to resemble a softly glowing creature that appears to float in space. Crafted from two subtly inset, mirrored half-domes joined along the equator, the pendant lamp creates a structure that is both soft and silhouetted. The interior of the spherical shade is fully lined with 100% Dupioni raw silk, allowing light to diffuse through in a warm, even glow.
Each piece in the collection, including the small pendant option and the wall sconce, is hand-finished with brass fittings from Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains. The hand tailoring brings subtle texture and irregularities, embracing artisanal craft. A hand-finished tassel adds an artisanal, textural detail.
The Lantern pendant lamp, priced at approximately $12,420, is a testament to the collection's sculptural, otherworldly presence. Each lamp hovers with a benevolent majesty, situated within a voluminous void. The pendant lamp, part of the new lighting collection named 'Lantern', maintains the design's gentle forms but develops them in new practical directions.
This collection blends the best of both worlds, offering a blend of fashion-inspired craftsmanship and functional lighting that is sure to make a stunning addition to any space.
The Lantern Pendant Lighting Collection by Workstead is an ideal fit for luxury interior-design projects, as it seamlessly merges fashion trends with home and garden lifestyle aesthetics. With its artisanal craftsmanship and tactile, irregular finishes, this collection elevates the lighting aspect of any home, becoming a lifestyle statement.
