Check Out the Workshop/APD for Arteriors Lighting + Decor Collection

Balanced curves and architectural silhouettes that have been glazed, bent, rolled and cut. I’m talking about Arteriors’ guest designer partnership with Workshop/APD and the 54 pieces that made it through their rigorous editing process. The Workshop/APD for Arteriors lighting and decor collection features a distinctively minimal aesthetic that distinguishes it from their more traditional offerings of the past, with Workshop/APD’s “crafted modern” approach holding its own weight. This is the brand’s first collaboration with a design and architecture firm, and includes pieces for both residential and commercial interiors.

“For this collection, our conceptual approach focused on “meaning in making”, highlighting a number of traditional techniques such as glazing, rolling clay, and slumping or etching glass,” said Workshop/APD founding principal Andrew Kotchen. “The result is a true collaboration, drawing on the diverse creative perspectives within our firm and the expertise of the Arteriors team and its global network of makers and craftspeople. Together we’ve created a compelling offering that strips away any unnecessary embellishment to instead emphasize technique, materiality, simplicity and scale.”

Workshop/APD design director and senior associate Andrew Kline, and product designer Ruoxi Wang, looked to prioritize the development of pieces with a versatility that transcends design typologies, styles and regions. “Lighting is the core of this collection, and we wanted to ensure that each sconce and pendant could stand alone as a beautiful, functional residential accent piece, but also work well in multiples and in combination with complementary styles,” said Workshop/APD founding principal Matthew Berman. “Each of the pieces in the collection is extremely versatile and multifunctional, offering designers the opportunity to create and play regardless of project type.”
