01. The embers collection.

Firelight Furniture.

Inspired by the warmth and comfort of a campfire, embers is designed to evoke the restorative properties of natural fire light. The mission is to introduce these elements into our every day environments, supporting and encouraging our natural rhythms and cycles through ambient lighting. A step closer to functional wellness.

Intentionally Designed Furniture

This collection is not just about looks. It’s about how light shapes a space, effects your body, and actually changes the way you feel. Most lighting today throws off our sleep cycles, messes with our hormones, and creates an environment that feels uncomfortable and uninviting. The spaces we surround ourselves with have more of an effect than one might think.

The Problem With Harsh Artificial Light

Several groups have taken interest in studying the effects of artificial blue light, especially given its relatively recent but widespread impact. For hundreds of thousands of years, modern humans (Homo-Sapiens) have evolved under the natural cycles of sunlight which shaped our circadian rhythms, hormonal balance, and overall well-being. Yet in just the past few decades, we’ve shifted to routines of constant exposure to harsh, artificial blue light. From computers, smartphones, TVs, home lighting, and even car headlights, this is a dramatic change our bodies have had little time to adapt to.

Studies conducted by ANSES, Harvard Medical School, the WHO’s IARC, the AMA, the University of Surrey, and the University of Connecticut Health Center have shown that prolonged exposure, especially at night, disrupts circadian rhythms, suppresses melatonin production, and negatively impacts sleep quality. Research also links blue light exposure to an increased risk of certain cancers, eye strain, and long-term health issues such as metabolic disorders. These findings suggest that reducing blue light exposure in the evening and opting for warmer lighting can help mitigate its adverse effects.

Firelight, Reimagined

The embers collection offers a way to seamlessly integrate warm, ambient, and intentional lighting into any space. Every piece in this collection is made from locally sourced materials, keeping it as close to nature as possible. I’ve spent countless hours of my life enjoying the outdoors, and creating furniture that brings even a fraction of that experience into everyday spaces has been an incredible privilege.

By integrating the timeless elements of fire’s warmth and light into our living spaces, the embers collection offers more than just furniture. It provides a pathway back to the restorative properties of the outdoors.

The Road Ahead

The embers collection will feature a coffee table, media console and night stands, all made from quality hardwoods. I want the first collection to be small and focused. Keeping emphasis on the quality rather than quantity. As of now, I plan to launch this collection on September 1st of this year, documenting the process along the way.

This is just the beginning. Firelight Furniture is coming.
