Lighting and Objects

For decades, Remains Lighting has been a reference for historically grounded, finely crafted lighting and objects. Our work spans antique, made-to-order, and custom pieces. Each is selected or developed with a disciplined attention to proportion and material, and to the way the piece ultimately lives within a space.

Collections in Focus

A rotating selection that reflects the breadth of the collection, from vintage pieces and Italian glass to established designs within the Remains portfolio.

The polished brass Molecule Wall Sconce from the lighting collection by Swiss architects Robert and Trix Haussmann features a solid brass central sphere and three round bar arms, inspired by their original midcentury Atomic Lichtstruktur designs.

Designer Collaborations

A series of collaborations with designers whose work aligns with our approach to proportion, material, and construction—resulting in pieces that extend and refine the collection.

Selected Lighting and Objects

A selection drawn from across the collection, including chandeliers, sconces, and fireplace equipment—each chosen for its clarity of design and lasting relevance.

Custom Lighting and Restoration

Our custom work is developed in close collaboration with designers and architects, translating original concepts into lighting and objects that are resolved in both design and construction.

We also undertake the restoration of historic fixtures, applying traditional methods alongside contemporary techniques, allowing each piece to be returned to use with integrity.
