Thomas O'Brien

Thomas O’Brien has built his design language on American modernism and classic industrial settings, refining functional forms into lighting for today's homes. Inspiration is drawn from the everyday architecture of the twentieth century and older fixture types, but the expression is pared back to strike a balance between history and the present. The result is fixtures that feel timeless and natural in many different types of interior.

The collection is developed with Visual Comfort & Co. and is characterised by carefully worked proportions, metal, glass and durable material choices. Series such as Hulton, Venice and Reed recur in wall lights and pendants, often in designs where the form is pared back enough to work both as a discreet complement and as a distinct design feature, depending on where it is placed.

At Brittfurn you will find Thomas O’Brien lighting for kitchens, studies, hallways and living rooms where a classic yet functional expression takes centre stage. Ceiling lights, wall lights and table lamps are easy to combine with both traditional and modern furniture and suit turn-of-the-century apartments just as well as new-build homes. The restrained design means the fixtures last over time and work across many different interior styles.

If you would like to compare different models, experience the materials up close or get help choosing the right fixture, you are warmly welcome to our showroom in Östermalm, Stockholm. There you can see Thomas O’Brien's lighting in real settings and receive personal advice before you decide.
