Simplicity is often thought to be one of the most elusive design traits, a product of a vast amount of trial and error until the least does the most. The Rider Range by Objects for Thought embodies this ideal, combining mechanical knowledge with minimalist design to create a cohesive lighting collection that can live comfortably in any interior. The Rider Range features wall lamp, table lamp, and sconce mounting options, as well as floor lamps for a balanced and elegant collection.
Like switchboards or control panels over a century ago, metrics of the human body were considered to create signals, sounds and colors that would make operations easier for technicians across all industries. These design styles resurfaced again in Moog synths and Roland drum machines first released in the 1960s, providing easy ways to delineate synthetic sounds and create loops. The soft glow and regularity of the Rider Range recall these style cues in a way that is completely fresh. Upending the scale and dimensions of technology most are familiar with, and pairing these notions with unconventional lighting materials such as wood, allows the collection to stand on its own as a brilliant example of simplistic elegance, adding a modern accent to the floor, wall, or table.
Expertly machined, the Prose light comes in Small and Large, with a wall mounting option for those that don’t need their lighting hardwired. Made from cast metals, woods, and glass, the Prose fixtures feature a flat top glass shade situated within the ringed base. Also available in outdoor and ceiling mount variations, choose from a large array of finishes for a look that will suit any preexisting style with ease.
The Rider Range, with glass domes that rest within a thin, deep aluminum base, is perfect for use in residential or commercial spaces alike. This piece is available in Single, Double, Triple, and Quad variants, as well as a cheeky Nude version, the inviting aesthetic that Objects for Thought brings here is delivered in a compact and clever way.

The Sequence Lamp is a showstopper, rows of round bulbs extending upward on a raw aluminum base designed to reflect some of the warm, glowing light the repetitive orbs throw off. The soft white light is reminiscent of the sun peeking out after a long night out, and the untreated black backdrop resembles the industrial interior of a club, picking up wear naturally over time.
Objects for Thought is born from the minds of Jay Jermyn and CJ Anderson, Australian designers and artists earnestly exploring the collaborations that heighten and define the brand. “Bound by intuition, we operate with the freedom to create what may look different, but feel right, through the use of industrial shapes, materiality, and a refined vision,” they explain, leaning in to the holistic nature of their craft. Offering a broad range of lighting, some of which is rated for outdoor use, we’re excited to see what’s next.
