Modern lighting handmade in Asheville from Appalachian hardwoods.
Darkmatter lights are a synthesis of our love for the beauty of our local woods, the camaraderie of woodworking and the knowledge of modern LED technology.
Each piece is a unique sculpture for a specific client and produced by hand, from selection of the lumber to the application of the final finish.
Custom lights available in two different styles:
Linear Pendants
Our linear pendants are minimal, levitating slabs of decorative hardwoods subtly emitting warm white light. They are solid suspended lines creating focus and illumination for places of conversation, work and gathering.
Ring Pendants
Our ring pendants offer another layer in complexity, both in visual suspense as well as fabrication process. The ring as a symbol of protection and renewal materializes into a light fixture that radiates a communal energy.
