Presidio Lighting by Hart Howerton
Designed by global interdisciplinary firm, Hart Howerton, the Presidio lighting collection is a tribute to heritage. It brings together contemporary style, historic lighting inspiration, and handcrafted, organic materials.
Born from a long-standing collaboration between Remains Lighting Company and Hart Howerton, the collection tells a story inspired by Arcadian design: natural, organic, local, handmade, fair, and just.
About the Historically Inspired Lighting Collection
At its core, the Presidio collection reimagines primitive-style lighting through a modern lens. Inspired by the sturdy forms of miners’ lanterns and early industrial light fixtures, each design features a solid cast brass base bound to a swooping hand-formed reflector that curves around a frosted glass lens. As light moves across these organic materials, the fixtures evoke the elemental warmth of an open flame.
The collection includes historically inspired chandeliers in two sizes, versatile table lamps, exterior lanterns, and a bold pendant light. These fixtures strike a balance between industrial strength and quiet elegance, resulting in modern rustic light fixtures that feel equally at home in lodges, urban lofts, and contemporary interiors.
Available in a selection of customizable finishes such as dark iron, weathered brass, polished nickel, and polished brass, each piece is detailed with thoughtful touches, like signature toggle switches and hand-connected copper rivets, that blend heritage craftsmanship with modern sensibility.
