Jean and Oliver Pelle interviewed by Design Miami
In the Glow
The dreamscape lighting of Jean and Oliver Pelle has graced a number of alluring, high profile settings over the past year. Working mainly on commission from their eponymous design and fabrication studio in Brooklyn, this husband-and-wife duo has attracted the admiration of a growing roster of trendsetting interior designers, including Kelly Wearstler, Chris Shao, and nARCHITECTS, to name just a few.
Thanks to Reza Nouranian Design, for example, PELLE’s biomorphic Lure collection occupies a prominent place in AMSALE’s newly opened, elegantly serene flagship in Soho. Meanwhile, PELLE’s more industrial side is reflected in the Stem Shade Rig that hangs in the kitchen of actress Amanda Seyfried’s vintage Upper West Side pied-à-terre, recently designed by General Assembly and featured in Architectural Digest. With such impressive clientele, it’s no wonder that PELLE turned up in Wallpaper’s 2023 USA 300 list dedicated to “celebrating the people defining America’s creative landscape.”
This year looks to be as busy as the last for PELLE. We caught up with the studio’s principals as they prepare for two big projects forthcoming in May: NYCxDESIGN 2024 and Biophilia: Nature Reimagined at the Denver Art Museum.
Jean and Oliver took time out with us to reflect on their holistic practice and to share the inspiration behind their latest lighting collections—including those that you might have seen in the Design Miami/ Collectors Lounge in December.
