For Bec Brittain, designing lighting and products is the logical evolution of a lifelong interest in form,
materials, and technology. She grew up surrounded by creative people: her mother is an artist; her father
had a woodworking business; and her paternal grandparents (as well as her step-grandfather) were
architects. After deciding that her initial interest in studying fashion design would lead to a career that was
too trend-focused, Bec studied product design at Parsons before exploring the philosophy of design at
NYU and the concepts behind architecture at the Architectural Association. An early job making custom
door hardware led Bec to the realization that she loved the process of making things in metal, and a
subsequent job as design director for Lindsey Adelman, the noted lighting designer, affirmed Bec’s view
that lighting embodied not just the challenges of engineering and technology, but also the playfulness of
form and the richness of materials. By 2011, Bec had opened her own studio in Brooklyn and designed the
critically-acclaimed SHY light, named for the initials of her grandmother, the architect Sarah Hitchcock
Yerkes, one of the first women to receive a master’s degree in architecture from Harvard.
Bec’s work has been featured in The New York Times, Architectural Digest, Elle Décor, Case da Abitare,
and Wallpaper magazines, among many others. Her limited edition designs have been shown at Patrick
Parrish Gallery, and her work was featured in a 2018 exhibition organized by 1stdibs’ in Milan during the
Salone del Mobile. Her clients include today’s top architects and interior designers, and her work appears
in commercial and residential projects around the world.
