Eny Lee Parker's 12-piece lighting collection with Lulu and Georgia launched today, with prices ranging from $198 to $798.

The line marks Parker's second collaboration with the Los Angeles-based furniture company. Her first collection leaned on terracottas, light woods, and scalloped edges. The new release shifts to frosted glass, polished nickel, and sculptural linen shades — materials Parker says carry more gravitas than her debut.

Where did the cherry lamp come from?

The collection's anchor piece, the Rumi lamp, traces directly to a cherry brooch Parker discovered in The Metropolitan Museum of Art's archives. That brooch and the still life paintings she studied alongside it shaped the lamp's fruit form.

"If you know my work, I use a lot of common everyday things like food or flowers and I like to mimic those in a lamp or a piece of furniture," Parker says.

The strategy runs through the line. The Calla Lily sconces mimic their namesake flower. Towering egg and pear lamps take the same everyday-surrealism approach Parker has applied across ceramics, rugs, and jewelry since 2020, when AD named her "one to watch."

What defines each fixture?

Parker treats lighting as a way to reshape a room's character without dominating it. "Lighting is one of those products that completely changes the character of a room without fully taking over," she says.

Each of the twelve pieces carries, in her words, "a distinct personality":

  • The Ara pendant measures 42 inches across and reads, Parker says, "if you were to drop a napkin and it just froze in space."
  • The Nina sconce takes the shape of a bean, drawn from Elsa Peretti's jewelry vocabulary, cast in frosted glass.
  • The Luma table lamp sets a bean base on its side, tilted so it appears to rock between two rounded feet.
  • The Gemini lamp rises on a hammered iron base that crawls upward like a branch, splitting into twin shades.
  • The Pamy floor lamp rests a linen bell shade on hammered iron legs.

The pieces skew sober enough to anchor a living room. Parker designed them for, in her words, "someone who's comfortable mixing something refined with something a little odd or a little playful."

How does the humor land?

"There's a little bit of humor and romance in the collection," Parker says. "Obviously in the cherry piece. I love the challenge of how to make something like this livable and not too kitschy."

The Rumi lamp embodies that balance. Its fruit silhouette nods to still life without tipping into pastiche. Bean-shaped sconces and the pear and egg table lamps carry the same wink into other domestic corners.

Parker calls her approach "simple gestures" — a phrase she has used across earlier Lulu and Georgia rugs, her jewelry line, and her squiggle ceramics. This collection keeps that vocabulary but swaps informal clay for denser glass, nickel, and linen.

All twelve pieces are available now at luluandgeorgia.com. With the price ceiling at $798, the line positions itself for design-minded consumers rather than as a luxury drop — a deliberate signal that Parker wants her everyday surrealism in actual living rooms rather than gallery vitrines.
