Allied Maker Lighting
I wasn’t looking to create complex forms,I was looking to make fixtures that were expressive,The same is true now.
Allied Maker is a Long Island-based design and manufacturing studio established in 2013 by designer Ryden Rizzo.Every piece is handcrafted in Allied Maker’s workshop and in collaboration with the best New York fabricators.On a mission to deliver artisan-crafted, highly engineered and sophisticated yet simple lighting design solutions,their inspiration is fuelled by an obsession with natural materials such as brass,glass and hardwoods along with a love for artisan craftsmanship. Allied Maker’s lighting fixtures can be seen in boutique hotels, residential and commercial projects worldwide.
In May 2018 we opened Allied Maker first showroom.Located in the iconic Tribeca neighborhood of New York City, the space features arrangements of arched niches and bespoke details that reflects unique aesthetic.Since every piece of their collection is hand-finished, their architectural fixtures are available in a stunning range of neutrals and textures–smoked or frosted glass, white or silver oak,glimmering or stonewashed brass. It’s that kind of attention to detail,and craft, that’s brought the design studio rave reviews from–and shows its roots as a company born out of Ryden’s work within the high end jewelry world. Allied Maker’s lighting is built, in both its sculptural and material qualities, to improve with age.
All Allied Maker lights can be ordered in 9 metal, 12 wood or 9 glass finishes. This means that each light fixture is unique. Each custom order is designed, engineered and manufactured under the leadership of lead designer Ryden Rizzo. Allied Maker begins their process with premium raw materials such as thick brass, solid American hardwood, and hand-blown glass. Allied Maker's parts are all finished by hand to create an iconic quality standard. While utilizing natural patina, such as oxidized brass and smoky oak, Allied Maker's finishes have a rich texture that grows more beautiful with use.
