PELLE

PELLE is a Brooklyn-based design studio founded in 2011 by Jean and Oliver Pelle, known for creating expressive lighting and objects that exist at the intersection of art, craft, and engineering.

With backgrounds in architecture—both founders studied at Yale—PELLE approaches design with a balance of structural rigor and artistic exploration. Their work reflects a deep understanding of material, geometry, and process, resulting in pieces that feel both technically precise and emotionally resonant.

Crafted by Hand in Brooklyn

PELLE operates from an integrated studio in Brooklyn, New York, where design, fabrication, and exhibition coexist under one roof. This hands-on environment allows ideas to move seamlessly from concept to creation, reinforcing the studio’s dedication to craftsmanship and experimentation.

Each piece is hand-produced and made to order, reflecting a deliberate approach that prioritizes quality, detail, and longevity over mass production.

Why We Curate PELLE

At Lumens, we value designers who push beyond convention to redefine what lighting can be. PELLE exemplifies this through its experimental yet refined approach, creating pieces that are intellectually grounded, materially rich, and visually striking.

Living with PELLE introduces a sense of quiet drama and artistic intention. Their designs create environments that feel layered and expressive—where light is not only functional, but an integral part of the spatial experience.
