Schoolhouse Teams up with New York Studio Roll & Hill for a '70's-Inspired Lighting Collection
Briefly

Schoolhouse has joined forces with Roll & Hill, a New York lighting studio, to launch a collection of four innovative lighting fixtures. This collaboration embodies modern silhouettes and industrial charm, drawing inspiration from Corbusier's design philosophy and Donald Judd's vibrant color palette. The collection integrates modular elements reminiscent of vintage Japanese bento boxes, showcasing a refined approach to design that aligns with both brands' aesthetics. Their partnership signifies a mutual appreciation for creativity and bespoke architecture within the American market.
Schoolhouse is known for its contemporary take on industrial forms, while Roll & Hill is known for elegant, modern designs. We wanted to make something that felt right in the Schoolhouse collection but refined in a way that is typical of Roll & Hill.
The colors of those Donald Judd pieces feel completely contemporary to us today and relevant, referencing the olives, muted reds, butterscotch yellows, and ecrus that define the collection.
This collection exemplifies those ideals, integrating Corbusier's midcentury penchant for modern materials, sharp geometry, and his trademark 'architectural polychromy'.
The collaboration began with a meeting of minds over coffee, when Miller and the former Schoolhouse CEO Alex Bellos bonded over their love of good design.
