Sculptural Lighting as Jewelry: How the Corey Damen Jenkins x Eichholtz Collection Changes Everything
The Jewelry of Interior Design
Interior designer Corey Damen Jenkins often refers to decorative lighting as the "jewelry" of a room—and it's a metaphor that perfectly captures his approach to the medium. Just as fine jewelry elevates an outfit, statement lighting transforms the mood, energy, and sophistication of an interior space.
For over a decade, Jenkins has been known for his bold, modern maximalist interiors that layer exuberant color, textures, and patterns. His work has graced the covers of House Beautiful and Traditional Home, been featured extensively in Architectural Digest, Elle Décor, and Vanity Fair, and earned him recognition on the AD100 list and Elle Décor's A-list.
Now, in his first-ever brand collaboration, Corey Damen Jenkins partners with Eichholtz for an exclusive lighting collection that challenges conventional design and introduces fresh, unexpected fixtures to the luxury market.
Breaking the Mold: A Lighting Revolution
In an interview with Eichholtz's editorial team, Jenkins stated: "Eichholtz is the perfect partner to break the mold, go bold, and finally create something unexpected for the marketplace."
For years, the lighting design category has experienced creative stagnation. Homeowners and interior designers have been hungry for innovation—pieces that move beyond basic functionality to become true statement art. The Corey Damen Jenkins x Eichholtz collection delivers exactly that.
The Concept: A Renaissance of Historic Influences
The collection's guiding concept is renaissance—a revival of historic design movements and aesthetic principles, reimagined for the 21st century through a fresh, modern lens. Jenkins drew inspiration from diverse sources:
Ancient Civilizations: Egyptian symbolism, Greek architecture, Roman design principles, and Neoclassical aesthetics provide structural and ornamental inspiration.
Organic Elements: Florals, seashells, alabaster stone, water, feathers, and botanical forms appear as subtle design motifs throughout the collection.
Celestial References: Subtle nods to cosmic and celestial objects beyond Earth bring a sense of wonder and dimension.
1920s Art Deco: Geometric forms, luxurious materials, and the boldness that defined this transformative design era.
Viennese Secessionist Period: The elegant curves and artistic innovation of early 20th-century European design.

Materials & Craftsmanship
Each fixture in the Corey Damen Jenkins collection is handcrafted with premium materials:
- Handblown Glass: Allowing light to diffuse and create nuanced shadows
- Vintage Brass Finishes: Creating warm, antique tones that complement warm-toned interiors
- Alabaster & Natural Stone: Adding organic, sculptural weight
- High-Quality Metal Work: Hand-finished details and joinery
- Advanced Lighting Technology: LED-compatible, energy-efficient options without sacrificing aesthetic
Styling Your Lighting
Jenkins himself offers this advice: "Be bold and don't be afraid to mix the elements!" The collection's diverse designs make it possible to create layered, eclectic lighting schemes that feel cohesive rather than chaotic.
Consider combining:
- A statement chandelier as your focal point (Minerva, Persephone, Victory)
- Table lamps on side tables and nightstands (Dionne, Bentley, Bonny)
- Wall sconces for ambient, layered light (Andromeda, Icarus, Farini)
- Pendant lights in entryways or over dining areas (Cortese, Solara)
This approach creates what Jenkins calls the "dialogue between light and space"—allowing light and architecture to work together in creating an interior's mood and depth.
The Psychology of Lighting Design
Beyond aesthetics, the Corey Damen Jenkins collection understands how light influences interior design psychology. Warm brass finishes and amber-toned glass create intimate, inviting spaces. Sculptural forms cast interesting shadows that add dimension and visual interest. The interplay of light and form creates a dynamic experience that changes throughout the day as natural light shifts.
