Hart Howerton Partner, David Rau, who was the lead designer on the project commented: “Our goal was to tell a story inspired by Arcadian design: natural, organic, local, handmade, fair and just. Nothing synthetic, very little machining, simple, efficient, resilient. This new line of fixtures – with its indeterminate sense of history and an earthly attraction – was the happy result.”

It centers around a modern take on the primitive form of a miners’ lantern, with a solid cast brass base bound to a swooping hand-formed reflector that curves around a frosted glass lens.

The Sutro Lantern is versatile in style, positioning, and use; equally home on sideboard, on terrace paving, or on an end-table. Made of a solid cast brass base, bound to a swooping reflector with an integrated handle, that curves around a frosted glass lens. Remains’ solid brass “ingot” switch has a satisfyingly heavy feel and toggle action. View the Sutro Lantern →
