Designed by global interdisciplinary design firm, Hart Howerton, the Presidio Collection includes three distinct product lines. It is a tribute to heritage, bringing together contemporary style, historic inspiration, and hand-crafted, organic materials.
A Story Inspired by Arcadian Design
Hart Howerton Partner, David Rau, who was the lead designer on the project commented: “Our goal was to tell a story inspired by Arcadian design: natural, organic, local, handmade, fair and just. Nothing synthetic, very little machining, simple, efficient, resilient. This new line of fixtures – with its indeterminate sense of history and an earthly attraction – was the happy result.”
The Eponymous Presidio Line
It centers around a modern take on the primitive form of a miners’ lantern, with a solid cast brass base bound to a swooping hand-formed reflector that curves around a frosted glass lens. It is a heady mix of elegance and industrial strength, where light plays across organic materials and nods to the elemental warmth of an open flame.
