Although skateboard culture often influences the fashion and art scene, it doesnt always get its accolades for shaping interiors. New York-based Blue Green Works new Wood collection changes that. Drawing inspiration from the smooth curves of skateboarding half-pipes, founder and creative director Peter B. Staples redefines the role of wood, elevating it from a supporting act to the star of the show.The Wood collection highlights the inherent beauty of White Oak and Black Walnut, with warm, diffused light that accentuates the natural grain and patterns of each piece. While the fixtures are undeniably modern, they are reminiscent of a 1970s aesthetic where pared back design and bold graphic shapes reigned supreme. Whether in an intimate interior or a large-scale environment, the designs bring a sense of movement and flow that feels both dynamic and timeless.To commemorate the launch, Blue Green Works debuted the collection in a temporary installation at Time Again, a stripped-down Italian-style apertivo bar in New York Citys Chinatown. Against the bars raw yet inviting backdrop of stainless steel tabletops and eclectic furnishings, the Wood pendants and sconces felt right at home. The earthy tones of the woods complement the warm, dimly lit interiors, while their graphic forms added a striking contrast to the bars casual, unpolished aesthetic. Its almost hard to believe the Wood collection wasnt part of the space from the start.The pendants are available in two sizes small (14 x 8.5 diameter) and large (23 x 8.5 diameter) and can be stacked for endless configurations. The sconces come in five shapes, with the Oval and Round versions making their debut at Time Again. Each piece is made to order, complete with dimmable lightbulbs that add versatility and warmth to any setting.The Wood collection by Blue Green Works brings skate-inspired elegance to lighting design, showing how even the most unexpected influences can shape spaces with warmth, style, and a touch of bold creativity.Peter B.
