At Bklyn Designs: Re-surface Design

Solo, pendant light. Designed by Re-surface Design.

A colorful hip hop culture and concrete, graffiti-painted overpasses reflect the setting of the Brooklyn-based company, Re-surface Design. They bring it back to the old school - but that doesn’t necessarily mean Public Enemy lyrics making a comeback - it’s flanking the ever-changing facades of New York culture over lamp shades. Most recently, designer Donna Brady tags SOLO, a microphone pendant light, at the Bklyn Designs 2008.

A powerful re-collaboration of music and art, the microphone light fixture features a traditional mesh top. It easily drapes, hangs, or lays down flat while giving off a very subtle glow. Enough to inspire artists with its visual connection to rhymesayers and design enthusiasts past. Packaged in a wooden, foam-lined case, it comes with a 6 watt indicator light bulb and is powered by a 15 foot cord with rocker switch (located 4 feet from the plug). Priced at $236, the SOLO pendant light comes in 3 different colors: Modern (bronze/black), Star (white), and Classic (black).

Just as the SOLO pendant light accompanies the aspiring turntable DJ in us all, the other lamps and pillar candles in Re-surface Design’s collection tap our inner artist. With the choice of up to nine different graffiti design-inspired prints, and priced between $15 and $350, the A-light, D-light, Hi-light, and More-light prove there is no excuse to drab fixtures.

Time to re-surface by officially getting lit.

Sophie Rivers is simple yet spontaneous. She navigates through foggy city blocks to the beat of old school hip hop, jazz, and Dylan. When decidedly not anti-social, however, trivia and travel consume her. But in the written world of architecture and design at a major publication, she has latched onto an innate clairvoyance using her background in cultural and environmental studies.

I can think of some rappers that’d probably love these. Would make some awesome recording studio lighting.
