The Orbit ADA Sconce & Three Other Workstead Lighting Masterpieces

Since 2009, Workstead has been housed in a Brooklyn interiors studio and a Hudson, New York lighting studio. Breaking out of the typical design mold, the Workstead body of work expands beyond just the basic functionality of an object and instead focuses on the atmosphere a piece creates, its presence in the room and relationship with not just the other pieces of furniture, but the user.

Orbit ADA Sconce

The Orbit ADA Sconce boasts a delicate balance of minimalist features. Featuring the familiar halo of metal set against a singular spherical bulb, the Orbit ADA Sconce recalls the design of historical American candle sconces. The single bulb of the Orbit ADA Sconce emits a gentle light, ambient light amplified by the fixed backplate, disseminating the light throughout the room.

With its subtle, modern composition and elegant presence, the Orbit Sconce’s modern profile perfectly suits bedrooms, bathrooms, hallways, and living rooms. In addition to its ADA compliance, the Orbit ADA Scone is also UL Listed and Damp Rated. Available in three metal finishes, the Orbit ADA Sconce pairs perfectly with the Orbit Chandelier and other Workstead pieces.
Workstead doesn’t just create lighting – they create environments with visual identity and thoughtful compositions.

Helios Table Lamp

The Helios Table Lamp is a celestial celebration delicately balanced atop a Carrara marble base. The spun-metal disc reflects the warm glow of the singular lightbulb, and the pair can pivot 360 degrees to direct or shield light as needed. Perfect for desks, reading nooks, and bedside tables, the Helios Table Lamp is a work of art as much as it is a functional lighting solution.

Lodge Double Sconce

The Lodge Double Sconce is an adaptation of Workstead’s popular Lodge Sconce, featuring two spherical bulbs placed on either end of the perfect and understated oak cylinder. The extra bulb allows for greater versatility when coupled with the signature 360-degree pivot feature of the Lodge sconce series. ADA compliant and elegantly minimalistic, the Lodge Double Sconce is perfect for domestic and commercial hallways, bathrooms, bedrooms, and living rooms.

Tube Pendant

Delicately refined with an ethereal aesthetic, the Tube Pendant is a chic and minimalistic light that elevates any room’s décor while remaining unobtrusive. The cylindrical, matte bulb, capped on either side by hewn brass, bronze, or brushed nickel decorative end pieces, is suspended from a single post to create an illusion of weightlessness. The airy and simple Tube Pendant is perfect for entryways, above kitchen islands, dining room tables, and ambiance in hotel lobbies.

Chamber Sconce

Workstead’s Chamber series signature is the adjustable shade which combines the character of the antique lantern with the convenience of the modern lampshade and dimmer. The Chamber Sconce features a cylindrical metal shade which allows the user to shroud or reveal the LED bulb according to the needs and uses of the room. The Chamber Sconce balances a modest industrial aesthetic with elegant sculptural shape, making it the perfect, modern splash of light in living rooms and dining rooms.
