Eny Lee Parker Wall Lights and Sconces

Eny Lee Parker is a contemporary New York City designer who makes forward-thinking creations via a thoughtful and traditional process. All of her floor lamps, stools, wall mirrors and other furniture and decorative items are made by hand, typically out of clay. Her work is often described as playful and organic, but Parker refuses to be relegated to just one style.

Parker was born in São Paulo. In high school, her mother recognized her knack for drawing and pushed her to pursue art. Parker moved to Georgia and studied at the Savannah College of Art and Design, where she felt pulled toward interior design, launching her own design business while still in college.

Today, she works out of her Brooklyn studio. Among her most popular designs is the Oo lamp, a hybrid floor/table lamp with a double-pronged and curving shape. “The shape of the Oo lamp is supposed to resemble the curvature of our bodies," she explained to Introspective magazine, "while the texture is similar to the imperfections of our skin.”

Like many of Parker's creations, the Oo lamp is made from clay. However, she is constantly exploring new materials and mediums to continue growing as a designer, often using glass and textiles in her work.

At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, Parker also undertook her first foray into rugs. The resulting floor coverings represent a collaboration between Parker and her best friend, print designer Spencer Malinski, with whom she was living at the time.

In 2022, Parker announced a collaboration with lighting brand Mitzi on a line of affordable lighting fixtures for the average consumer. "I loved the idea of designing something that has more of a democratic price point and is more accessible to the mass market," she told Architectural Digest. From avid collectors to everyday consumers looking to upgrade their home interiors, there are Eny Lee Parker designs for everyone.
