Sister City — New York, NY
Dimple® sconce, frosted interior
Originally designed in collaboration with Sister City for a custom fixture version featuring clear glass and a white-painted interior, Dimple® is a compact and dimmable, flush-mounted sconce that casts a diffuse and soft, atmospheric light. Made from solid-cast glass and an anodized aluminum backing, Dimple® is cheekily named for the thick, domed circular diffuser embedded into its front face. This unique feature renders its LED source into a soft, atmospheric glow that emanates an orb-like, optical pattern. The iconic Dimple® collection has welcomed a new sibling—Dimple® Dash. With its elongated form and glowing glass domes, this fresh addition expands the icon's legacy while carving out its own distinctive place.
Originally designed to complement the minimalist interiors of Manhattan’s Sister City hotel, Dimple’s simple silhouette consists of a solid glass lens against an anodized aluminum backing. The unique domed surface casts light in glowing, orb-like patterns.
Playful yet precise, Dimple Dash blends soft, curved geometry with a streamlined profile. It brings warmth, character, and just the right amount of movement to your space—functional design with undeniable personality.
The final form for the Dimple is almost as if you took a sphere and pushed it into the face of a plane. It was a pleasant surprise to see how that plays with the light coming through it.
