The Outer Borough Lamp (OBL) is a new innovation for the hanging pendant lighting industry: a modular platform for hanging pendant lights, created to liberate the pendant light from the ceiling. The OBL is poised to open the pendant lighting industry to an untapped market of mobile consumers (think renters) who would love to enjoy a designer pendant light without having to fuss with a ceiling installation. The OBL is perfect for Interior Designers and Hospitality, freeing not just our pendant, but any pendant - even your favorite pendant - from the rigid constraints of the ceiling. Hand crafted with authentic material options and interchangeable components - from the polished concrete or terrazzo base to the steam-bent wood arm to the pendant and shade - the modular OBL truly embraces the spirit of collaboration by inviting lighting and pendant designers from around the world to contribute to its malleable artistic vision. Inspired by the dynamic culture of New York City’s outer boroughs, the OBL embodies flexibility and adaptability. The OBL plays well with others. Any pendant of choice can reflect a different aesthetic, from industrial minimalism to vibrant modernism; honoring times past to futures unimagined. The OBL pushes the boundaries of traditional lighting design by blending modularity with collaboration, exactly where versatility and creativity meet. With the Outer Borough Lamp, there’s no ceiling required.
