shine time!
Bespoke lighting has gone to the next level.
Take Gleam, a highly customizable chandelier
that allows for ambient variance and functional
latitude. In layman’s terms? With a click of a
remote, the chandelier’s six arms can widen
or bend, cluster or radiate, depending on the
mood. Brooklyn-based design duo Jessica
Banks and Andrew Laska of fresh-on-the­
scene RockPaperRobot are creating “kinetic
furniture” that can be manipulated to your
liking. In its chrome form, Gleam resembles
something out of Terminator. Built to your
specs, it can accommodate any aesthetic. Want
rustic chic? Te mechanical chrome legs can
be embedded into wood. Starts at $9,000. At
rockpaperrobot.com. –Jennifer Croslow
