Stickbulb Tables

Stickbulb honors a different kind of landscape: the urban jungle of New York City. The award-winning lighting brand is committed to ensuring sustainability at every step in its process, and using reclaimed wood is an important part of that commitment.

The firm’s first foray in this regard involved timber salvaged from the Coney Island boardwalk after it was destroyed by Hurricane Sandy, in 2012.

Now, Stickbulb uses wood from local buildings that have been demolished, dismantled water towers and sustainably managed forests. Another way the firm minimizes its environmental impact is by having its sleek, sophisticated light installations manufactured within a five-mile radius of its New York City office.

Stickbulb’s creations appear simple on the surface, but the elegant wooden frames are ingeniously constructed so they can be plugged into and disconnected from various steel components without tools.

The modular systems are customizable, use as few parts as possible and are easy to maintain and recycle. They are beautiful to look at as well: The water-tower redwood employed, for instance, has a rich, warm tint from exposure to New York City weather on one side and from contact with water on the other.
