Little Wing Lee Sets Sail With RBW

One bright spot this spring arrives in the form of a new collaboration between lighting purveyor RBW and Little Wing Lee, founder of Studio & Projects and the crucial organization Black Folks in Design. First up is Cape, a fixture that floats a luminaire within a glistening wired cage. “It was born from an interest in industrial and nautical lighting,” Lee says. Whether installed as a sconce or flush-mounted to the ceiling, the cage casts soft shadows that lend depth. Three other lights will join Cape in the coming months. “They take inspiration from sculpture, architecture, jewelry, and the celebration of materiality and light’s different modes of perception,” she says. “I’m excited both by how different each fixture is, in terms of form and materials, but also how they work as a collection and expression of ideas from our studio.”
