The Cavalo collection emerged from an extraordinary collaboration between designer Jessica Gersten and artist Jason Koharik. The two discovered a shared sensibility grounded in a mutual devotion to material intelligence, craftsmanship, the evocative power of form, along with a love for narrative, fashion, luxury, and poetry. Those shared enthusiasms imbue the collection with an elegant vernacular that resists categorization and offers us emotional, sculptural lighting works that seem charged with mystery and rich with their own imagined histories
At its core, Cavalo is a meditation on materiality and meaning. Solid antique brass establishes a sense of weight and permanence, its patina suggesting age, ritual, and continuity. Hand-sculpted alabaster introduces a luminous counterpoint, soft and tactile, filtering light with a quiet, almost devotional restraint. Threaded through these elements is the fine silken weft of horse locs, an unexpected yet deliberate gesture that brings movement, sensuality, and a subtle sense of mythology
The collection is at once restrained and expressive, poised and assertive. Its silhouettes recall the elongated grace of haute couture while maintaining the grounded authority of classical architecture. The exquisite sense of tension — between softness and solidity, ornament and rigor, intimacy and monumentality — creates works that seem to exist outside of time. That tension invites us to see the Cavalo collection as both a relic of a lost world and a dream of a world yet to come
