QUILTED LIGHTS
Issue 13
October 2025
By Dana Harel
What if a blanket isn’t just an object of comfort? Our latest lights were inspired by childhood blankets transformed into fortresses, reshaped to create a secret world.
QUILT is a collection that is still unfolding. It is an ongoing body of sculptural lights, stitched with patterns that echo the coffered ceiling of the Pantheon’s dome. To create the light, we turned to flexible materials: cotton and batting that bend and fold. Delicately supported on the wall, each piece is hung with simple brass pins.
Sewing each of the lights by hand felt deeply comforting, and when the lights turn on, there is a sense of quiet fullness in the room.
QUILT will be part of IN YEARNING, an exhibition in Antwerp. Presented by COUR and Co-curated by Donah Elkabas, the show gathers women whose practices continue a lineage of working intuitively and materially, revealing the interior as a living site where things accumulate, shift, and remember.
Today, we’re sharing the first three lights from QUILT. You can explore the collection on our website. And to learn more, or discuss custom commissions, contact us here.
And, on newsstands: the October issue of Interior Design
Magazine, includes a feature on White Dirt studio and our ORA lighting collection.
