Bec Brittain’s SHY lighting line (named after her grandmother who helped her brainstorm the idea; Sarah Hitchcock Yerkes) is AMAZING.

SHY 01 in brass

… I could end this post right there.  That’s how much I love these fixtures. The faceted shape takes me back to my days as a chemistry major but with the added bonus of being attractive to look at (you’ll be surprised to hear that this is rarely the case in a chem lab).  The brass finish and the LED light tubes combine in the various prismatic shapes like some kind of sci-fi/period-piece hybrid.  It’s unexpected and appeals to both the analytical and romantic parts of the brain … a designer favourite for sure.  Peruse the entire collection here.
