Visual Comfort & Co. Partners With Designer Verena Brausch

French designer Verena Brausch’s lighting collection for Visual Comfort debuts at the High Point Market.

Visual Comfort & Co. has announced a design partnership with Paris-based designer Verena Brausch. Drawing on her background in industrial, furniture, and interior design, she brings a distinctive perspective to her initial lighting line comprised of four product families spanning chandeliers, pendants, wall sconces, and table lamps.

“What drew us to Verena’s work was her unique point of view, shaped by her background in industrial and interior design,” said Sean Lavin, chief design officer of Visual Comfort & Co. “Her attention to proportion and materials gives each piece a strong visual presence, with the quality of light central to every design.”

Throughout the collection, Brausch contrasts solid and translucent materials, using etched glass and natural alabaster to soften and diffuse the light.

The four collections are:

Glow — which combines architectural geometry with soft, diffused light and a glass dome that gives a sculptural and tactile character.

Faubourg — a series of table lamps conceived as illuminated sculptures that balance a softly diffused glass dome with a brass or bronze base for contemporary elegance.

Ever — a highly sculptural lighting family, combining radial movement and refined proportions with natural alabaster and brass and bronze forms for a strong architectural presence.

Boule — conceived around atmosphere, elegance and repetition, where softly glowing glass forms create a sense of rhythm and movement.

Together, the four series express a shared language of material, proportion and light while each retains its own distinct character.

“I wanted the collection to bring together noble materials, precision and a strong sense of presence. Lighting is deeply personal and emotional, and each piece is designed to elevate a room in a natural way. It has been incredibly exciting to develop this vision with Visual Comfort and bring it to life as a complete lighting collection,” Verena Brausch said.

A Verena Brausch Collection Launch Party will take place on Sunday, October 18 at 3:00 p.m. at Visual Comfort & Co.’s showroom in the C&D Building.
