Known for their linear LED lights that utilize salvaged wood, Stickbulb is committed to making fixtures sustainably. While the majority of the brand’s work heavily features angular lines, the Pillar Collection introduces softer curves into the mix. The new series, which launched at ICFF, was specifically designed to elevate wood waste from New York City’s urban forest, where the studio lives and works.
“Even though Stickbulb is a lighting company, we take wood waste personally. Pillar is our newest way to celebrate, elevate, and shed light on this beautiful, storied material and an opportunity to reimagine product design as a catalyst for positive system change,” says Russell Greenberg, co-founder and creative director at Stickbulb.
Made by hand in Long Island City, Queens, the Pillar Collection includes standard and customizable sconce, pendant, ceiling-mount, and chandelier configurations. It’s made possible through the use of individual modules that are formed from an illuminated square hole within a circular wooden housing. Choose from a variety of lengths and finishes to create a one-of-a-kind light fixture just right for your space.
The series is offered in hand-stained natural, white, black, or custom finishes, and can be specified with matte white glass LED bulbs for soft, warm lighting or LED MR16 bulbs for spot lighting. What’s more, Stickbulb’s LED fixtures are B Corp Certified and Climate Neutral Certified.
The company is able to stay dedicated to sustainability by taking part in a New York City wood pilot program that aims to divert waste created from storms, routine maintenance, and construction. Each year, roughly 12,500 trees are removed from the seven million located within the city, with most ending up in landfills. The goal of the program is to see the resulting waste used to its highest potential. Stickbulb works with local partners to add these resources to their production line with the hope of perfecting the process and turning it into a city-wide program in the near future.
