Mood Light
A quick Google search on Himalayan salt lamps dredges up link after link touting the health benefits of the pink mineral. While some claims are outlandish, like neutralizing electromagnetic radiation from cell phones, others, like mood enhancement, seem a bit more plausible—especially when the light looks as good as Brave Matter’s Archaic Modern pendant. “As a designer, I believe that objects we surround ourselves with have the power to influence the way we feel,” says Christina Zamora, cofounder of the Oakland, California–based design studio. The terraced clay luminaire, topped by a hefty brass disk and rounded salt bead, adds warmth to any space. “I could definitely see them in residential, retail, and hospitality environments,” says the industrial designer, who has also had interest from people designing for the wellness field because of the mineral’s purported effect on well-being. The Archaic Modern light is handcrafted and available in six shades ranging from a deep black Mica Ore to a muted Terra Pink.

Back To Basics
At this year’s NeoCon, textile companies looked forward by returning to the roots of making textiles. Traditional and modern weaving techniques, the return of pure color, and solid basics (with a twist) were all jumping-off points for collections tailored to the needs of today’s contract settings. “Resimercial”—the crossover influence of the residential look and feel on commercial interiors—continued in full force. As we celebrate New York Textile Month, the citywide festival designed to highlight textile creativity and promote textile awareness, we showcase a range of offerings from our industry favorites.
