The brand has also been a leader in developing high-quality LED lighting products, offering the eco-friendly lamping option in many of its new and existing product lines. No matter the space, each LBL fixture celebrates the functional art of lighting.

Rock Candy Cylinder

by LBL Lighting

Known for its distinctive, innovative and quality products, LBL may not have another fixture so aptly named-the Rock Candy line closely resembles the look of the sweet treat. The granular texture comes from rolling each pendant in clear crystal frit and flash heating it. An inner opal diffuser then softens the light into a gentle sparkle through mouth-blown transparent glass.

Y-Grinder Salt & Pepper
Hands On Salad Bowl with Servers
Y-Grinder Salt & Pepper Mill

Another Joseph Joseph product that tweaks the ordinary household product to up its form and function, the Hands On Salad Bowl stands out thanks to its hand-like servers that are integrated into the bowl itself. The 100% melamine makes it durable enough to go from holiday celebrations to outdoor barbeques.

Smart and good-looking? Say it ain't so. Set apart from traditional shakers by its unique twin-chamber design, the Y-Grinder Slat & Pepper Mill dispenses salt and pepper from the same display-worthy unit. The inner ceramic mechanism can adjust to grind from fine to coarse grades, plus it's anti- corrosive and guaranteed for up to 10 years.
