About the Item
Seed takes its name from seed crystals—the microscopic structures that catalyze the formation of larger crystalline systems. I was drawn to this concept as a way to explore nature not through the expected lens of the organic or living, but through the mineral and structural. Seed asks what it means to be a natural form when that form is not soft, fluid, or biological, but geometric, ordered, and crystalline.
Seed reimagines the natural as something structured and mineral—a rejection of the assumption that nature must be soft, flowing, or vegetal. The system’s angular arms and engineered hardware mirror the internal logic of crystalline solids. And yet, within this order, there’s space for surprise: the configurations introduce a playfulness and a rhythm that reflects the randomness inherent in how crystals grow.
As with all our collections, custom commissions are welcomed.

Bec Brittain
Self-taught designer Bec Brittain grew up surrounded by creative minds: Her mother is an artist, her father had a woodworking business, and her paternal grandparents and step-grandfather were architects.
In 2011, after serving as a design director for Lindsey Adelman, Brittain founded her own studio in Brooklyn and created the SHY light. The piece, whose name derives from the initials of her architect grandmother, Sarah Hitchcock Yerkes, was an immediate success, launching Brittain’s career.
The designer moved her studio to Manhattan in 2016 and opened an adjacent showroom in 2017.
Brittain makes all her products in New York with the help of local artisans and fabricators. A project called Aries, which was presented by 1stDibs in a 2018 exhibition during the Salone del Mobile in Milan, is an ode to Olafur Eliasson’s set design for the ballet Tree of Codes.
