Presenting Time & Style and California Lighting

Eric Roinestad, Rachel Shillander & Jason Koharik for Time & Style & Bianco Light + Space San Francisco January 21 - March 7, 2025

California Lighting

Experience a presentation highlighting the dynamic intersection of light, craftsmanship, and design. Featuring works by four extraordinary California-based lighting artists—Rachel Shillander, Bianco Light & Space, Eric Roinestad, and Jason Koharik—this curation reveals a rich tapestry of personal narratives, experimental approaches, and cultural influences.

Each artist has added their distinctive voice to a larger conversation about light as both a functional and poetic medium. Eric Roinestad’s unique ceramic lighting pieces, inspired by his Scandinavian heritage, combine traditional wheel-thrown techniques with hand-built forms, creating a dialogue between past and present. Rachel Shillander’s ethereal works explore the complexities of time, memory, and interpersonal relationships, infusing her pieces with both intimacy and abstraction. Jason Koharik brings a self-taught mastery to his creations, resulting in sculptural lighting that is as much an expression of technique as it is of personal intent. Introducing a fresh take on traditional studio materials, Bianco Light & Space blends functional design with sculptural beauty in their evocative lighting works.

Time & Style

Additionally, The Future Perfect is excited to introduce Time & Style, a Tokyo-based design studio known for its reverence of traditional Japanese craftsmanship. This new collaboration marks Time & Style’s debut at The Future Perfect, showcasing a furniture and lighting collection that celebrates the lasting beauty of Japanese materials and the artisanal techniques that elevate them. With a deep respect for the craftsmanship of previous generations, Time & Style presents pieces that feel both timeless and innovative.

Together, these diverse collections offer a compelling view of contemporary lighting design, each piece radiating the unique perspectives of its maker while reflecting the evolving conversation between tradition and innovation.
