New & Noteworthy: Colorblock Lights from Ravenhill (with an Interesting Backstory)

Recently spotted and noted: a fun, new iteration of Ravenhill Studio’s sheet-metal Peek lights. Turns out, their mastermind is a 9-year-old. Well, kind of.

We recently asked Marjory Garrison, who co-owns the L.A.-based lighting studio with her husband, Brendan Ravenhill, for the origin story behind the Peek Sconce Switch Colorblock collection:

“We’d worked on developing the Ravenhill Studio In Color palette for more than a year, and when we finally settled on colors, our son Ashley immediately wanted to mix and match parts into a colorblock fixture. Our design specialist Anya Gupta enthusiastically indulged him, helping him put together a Peek Sconce Switch in what he came to call ‘Color Explosion‘ (his version also has a color changing bulb),” she explains. “Luckily it’s a plug-in fixture, since Ashley hasn’t committed to where he wants it permanently.”

Here’s a peek at the newest members of the Peek Sconce Switch family.
