Capsule Light

Create an atmospheric glow that is inviting to sight and touch with Capsule Lights. This modern pendant consists of two molded felt shells, one in color to direct light and the other in white to diffuse it. Cluster them over a dining table, living room or foyer or use them as glowing night-lights in a nursery. The shades are hand crafted by one of the last millineries in the US, using wooden hat blocks from the 1800’s to give them their shape.

Locally Sourced
Locally Sourced Products or materials extracted, processed or manufactured within 100 miles from the point of distribution. We strive to manufacture all of our products in the Philadelphia tri-state area (over 70% of our collection meets this criteria). All of our products are made in the US with the majority of the material extraction also taking place within the continental US.
Biodegradable
Biodegradable A material that has the ability to break down, safely and relatively quickly, by biological means, into the raw materials of nature and disappear into the environment. These products can be solids biodegrading into the soil (also referred to as compostable), or liquids biodegrading into water.
Design Aikido
Design Aikido The use of existing infrastructure and resources with built-in environmental and social advantages to create alternative markets to incentivize material, process and behavioral changes.
Renewable Resource
Renewable Resource Natural resources (materials and services) that can be replaced by natural processes at a rate comparable or faster than the rate of consumption by humans. Wool felt is considered a renewable resource as long as the animals that they come from are humanely raised and treated.
Recyclable
Recyclable The ability to process used materials or products into new products or raw materials of equal or better quality, preventing the waste of potentially useful resources.
Closed Loop Manufacturing
Closed Loop Manufacturing A production processes where no waste is emitted and where all resources can be put back into the production process to create products of better or equal quality. Even though there are very few examples of completely waste-free manufacturing processes today, several industries operate with this principle by recycling and reusing materials and resources within their processes.

Sustainable Craft

Forms and technology from the past informing design for the future.

Wool Felt

Capsule Lights are crafted from wool felt, a material with untapped functional and aesthetic potential. Our design showcases the beauty, structure, and tactile qualities of this natural, biodegradable material by reimagining it in an unexpected application.

Industrial Craft

The processes used by millineries to create form and function offered a unique platform for reimagining this industrial craft for a new century. From the use of renewable, compostable materials and the inspiring shapes of hat blocks to the reliance on steam and human power, each step demonstrated the potential of repurposing industry to emphasize sustainability and community in design.
