Thomas Cooper Studio: Sculpting Light and Material from Los Angeles to Milan

From their Los Angeles studio, Thomas Cooper Studio, led by the creative partnership of Sally Thomas Cooper and Jason Kai Cooper, consistently elevates lighting and furniture design to an art form. Known for their modern and sculptural approach, their work emphasizes the inherent beauty of form and material, often drawing inspiration from art, nature, and heritage techniques.

At Fuorisalone 2025, Thomas Cooper Studio participated in the "Four on the Floor/Quattro Sul Palco" exhibition at MoscaPartners Variations within Palazzo Litta. This presentation showcased their signature aesthetic: pieces hand-wrought from honest materials with heritage processes, resulting in designs that are both refined and possess a raw, artistic essence. Their lighting fixtures, often described as sculptural, demonstrate a delicate balance between shine and shade, density and delicacy.

The studio's dedication to craftsmanship is evident in each individually handcrafted model, with custom commissions available to tailor pieces to specific settings. Their recent collections, such as the "Gaia Dining Chandelier" with its pebbled glass lanterns and brutalist bronze frame, or pieces from their "Rites Of Return" series featuring New Zealand driftwood elements cast in bronze, highlight their deep connection to natural forms and their ability to transform them into sophisticated objects. Thomas Cooper Studio's presence at Milan Design Week reinforced their standing as creators of collectible design, where every piece tells a story of meticulous artistry and a passion for material exploration.

From the artistic illumination and finely crafted objects of Thomas Cooper Studio, we now turn our gaze towards an innovative approach to urban living that literally brings green spaces into our cities. Prepare to be inspired by the vision of Verde Verticale and their biophilic architecture...
