At Colony in Tribeca, NYC: Coil + Drift's Touch and Strut Lighting
Colony, the design cooperative on West Broadway, showed John Sorensen-Jolink's lighting for Coil + Drift in "Lookout" through October 21: Touch, adjustable spotlight-style lamps in brass and steel, and Strut, wooden lamps with linen shades.
"Lookout: Touch and Strut Lighting by Coil + Drift" has closed at Colony in New York. The show, which ran through October 21, presented two lighting series by designer John Sorensen-Jolink inside the gallery.
The first, Touch, is a set of adjustable lamps made of brass and steel, styled after spotlights. The second, Strut, is a set of wooden lamps fitted with linen shades. Together they offered two different takes on light: a metal fixture that can be aimed, and a wood-and-linen lamp with a softer presence. Design Milk covered the pairing as two approaches to light from Coil + Drift, and FREEYORK reported that Touch and Strut debuted at the Colony exhibit.
The venue is a good fit for a design-focused launch. Colony was founded in 2014 by Jean Lin as a cooperative gallery, design studio and strategy firm, with the stated aim of celebrating independent design and supporting the community that makes it. Its collection spans furniture, textiles and lighting, and it also takes on interior design work. Photographs on its website show a white-brick space with polished concrete floors, where furniture, woven pieces and art sit side by side.
Colony is at 196 West Broadway, New York, NY 10013, in Tribeca. Regular hours are Monday through Friday, 12:00 to 6:00 pm, or by appointment. The exhibition itself is over, but the gallery's lighting category is listed on its website.
