The irony of Bec Brittain’s SHY Collection is just how gracefully eye-catching the fixtures are to behold. She first introduced SHY in 2011, coinciding with her studio launch in Brooklyn that same year. Design is a family affair for Bec, whose grandmother, Sarah Hitchcock Yerkes, (initials S.H.Y) was amongst the first women to receive a master’s degree in architecture from Harvard.
SHY examines form through lines of light while warm brass hardware tempers the glow and lends itself to a myriad of configurations to produce an ever evolving possibility of shape. Speaking to her inspiration, Bec notes “the SHY collection was conceived from a desire to draw with lines of light. I became captivated by the spare beauty of industrial fluorescent lighting and wanted to harness that simplicity to create more volumetric forms. SHY also marks the emergence of my systems-oriented approach: developing a set of modular components that serve as a formal "alphabet" I can revisit endlessly."
