You may recall the work of Allied Maker previously shared on Design Milk, as we’ve been fans of their modern lighting fixtures for some time now. The New York-based design and manufacturing studio combines raw materials like brass, American hardwoods, and hand-blown glass to create fixtures with clean, geometric forms that display a remarkable attention to detail, like the Arc. While their Arc lighting collection’s handmade parts can be mixed in all different ways, one component remains the same – the arc piece. The entire collection was built around that particular part, which you’ll see in this month’s Deconstruction where Allied Maker walks us through the process from the design and engineering of the arc through to the finished product.

implemented into a new design.
