Jim Henderson launched his San Francisco lighting and design company, Shine Labs, in 2009, after working as a lighting designer and manufacturer for more than 20 years. Henderson travels to Hong Kong, the Philippines and Thailand to find innovative lighting products and accessories that "shine" and artful objects that add personality to a room. His company's latest offering - the Shine Labs Bone China Collection - fits perfectly with this design philosophy.
"The material is really easy to live with," says Henderson. "It has this wonderful way it absorbs light and has a matte finish that's refreshing. They're unique and beautiful and kind of minimal and modern."
The striking ultra white, unglazed pieces work with various styles and decors and include bud, orchid and wall vases, napkin rings, plates, platters, votives and playful origami parrots. The collection, which retails for about $10 to $130, has subtle characteristics - like the delicate fluting seen on some of the vases.
Shine Labs' home accessories range from mod woodblock clocks ($108) and sleek LED task lamps ($312 and $504) to felted room dividers laser cut with cabbage roses and pop art florals ($130). The company's pendants are especially eye-catching - like the Moire Pendant Collection ($350) fabricated from wires; the gorgeous Cascade Pendant ($450) handmade from individually cut ivory organza petals affixed to a fabric diffuser and strung together to form "cascades"; and the Dolores Pendant ($176), handmade in San Francisco's Mission District from high-quality, die-cut wool panels sewn together to form a shade over a nickel-plated wire frame.
Shine Lab's products are featured in clubs, restaurants and hotels and sold in Anthropologie stores and select design showrooms. Henderson has plans to add an e-commerce site soon.
