As the days grow increasingly shorter in the northern hemisphere, a renewed focus on lighting our spaces to cope with the darkness comes to the fore. For Robin Standefer and Stephen Alesch, founders of, this offered a perfect opportunity to draw attention to the impressive array of lighting products they’ve developed over more than two decades.
‘A Slant of Light’ is on view at 6 Harrison Street until 1 December 2024.

What was the concept and what were you hoping to achieve?The poetry of this exhibition is about time of day and about the mood of the season.
We’re lucky enough to have customers – and I think this is important to talk about commercial issues – that say, ‘Oh, there's some spun lights that are a quarter of the price, but they're not made this way. They're not supporting this level of artisanal craft. They're not supporting this level of focus and design.’ Every one of our lights is stamped and signed, and we're trying to create something that has that level of respect, and we think that our customers deserve it.
