Drawing from her experience in technology and design, Echo explores light not only as a functional element but also as an artistic medium. Her approach focuses on creating thoughtful lighting experiences that bring together comfort, human interaction, and the subtle beauty found in everyday life. Through KĀDNS, she explores how lighting can shape the way we experience objects and spaces, creating designs that feel both purposeful and emotionally engaging. Swipe through to discover Echo’s creative journey, inspirations, and her perspective on the relationship between light, design, and everyday living in her own words. #InspiringWomen #WomenInDesign #52Weeks52Stories #LightingDesign #LightingDesigners

SIGHTED: SHINE for NYCxDESIGN At this year’s New York Design Week, SHINE pushed lighting beyond traditional fixtures and into something far more experimental. The exhibition brought together 70 artists and designers working with unconventional materials, textures, and forms, showing how light can completely change the way an object is perceived. What stood out most was the reminder that almost anything can become a lamp, just so long as light can shine through. I’m curious to know which ones are your favorite? It was so hard to choose. #2006 #nycdesignweek @nycxdesign Feat 💡 @leebroom @colleencarlsondesign @ovuud @studioejarque @joedoucet_ @kadns.co @karim_rashid_official @esquestudio @buchanan.studio @bgrizzo @notforgranted.studio @sebastienleon @sergiomannino 📹@houseofnoera

New York never sleeps — and this year’s NYCxDESIGN is making sure the lights stay on 🌙✨ Ten eccentric lighting designs worth knowing about. At the One Night Stand: What We Bring To Bed exhibition by American Design Club, Bang’s acrylic-layered sphere creates the illusion of subtle movement the moment it’s lit — reflections materialising like something half-remembered 🫧 The Future Perfect sets the tone with DUUD LITE, a collaboration between DUDD HAUS and Bocci uniting 120+ artists reimagining the night light as creative territory 🎨 At SHINE, Efecem Kutuk salvages broken carbon fibre hockey sticks and recasts them as floor lamps 🏒💡 A material so indestructible it demands a second life. Also at SHINE, Annabelle Schneider’s pulsating bubble folds into itself — “an illuminating symbol as well as a quiet reminder to rediscover the magic within the folds of New York” 🌀 Stickbulb debuts Pleat at Afternoon Light, pairing salvaged wood from New York’s urban forest cuts with Japanese Kozo paper 🌿 Rarify, Gantri and Christian Borger follow with a modular lamp in plant-based polymer shades on aluminium — stackable and quietly brilliant 🔆 At ICFF, KĀDNS’ Horizon takes its cues from the shifting colours of sunrise and sunset, designed to resonate emotionally and bring calm ☀️ At WANTED DESIGN’s Launch Pad, Riccardo Toldo’s XY runs LED filaments across welded wire mesh 🕸️ “Perfect trajectories run along the X and Y axes, where the Z axis becomes the human gaze.” Pelle studio’s Be Patient at The New York Edit — milled entirely from aluminium — references analogue machinery and car design 🤍 The sixth Head Hi Lamp Show at BOOM at The Standard Highline gathered 36 eccentric pieces 🎉 David Ruperti turned New York’s sticker culture — a collage of colourful, text-heavy stickers — into a table lamp 🏙️ 🔗 Link in bio for the full edit #NYCxDESIGN #DesignLovers #NewYork​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

(THE THINNING VEIL) Last day to view ♾️ the energy remains Featuring work by: Thomas Yang Elizabeth Lenny Ethan Streicher Anne Greene Aydan Hüseynli KĀDNS Ford Bostwick When I was little, growing up in Fletcher VT. I used to sit by a tree for hours and feel so connected. To the fact that I was alive, today, on the earth, a planet, in space. It felt like other people had sat by that same tree before me and felt the same thing. 
Like the feeling stayed in the place. Sometimes it even felt like they were still there too. Maybe that’s what a thin place is. Thank you for coming to sit with us.

(OPENING UP) When I was little, growing up in Fletcher VT. I used to sit by a tree for hours and feel so connected. To the fact that I was alive, today, on the earth, a planet, in space. It felt like other people had sat by that same tree before me and felt the same thing. Like the feeling stayed in the place. Sometimes it even felt like they were still there too. Maybe that's what a thin place is. Saturday, you came and sat with us - and I felt it again. Thank you for being here.
