Workstead

Workstead is a multidisciplinary design studio founded in 2009 by Stefanie Brechbuehler and Robert Highsmith, working from Brooklyn with more than fifteen professionals on buildings, interiors and products. Its projects run from residences and hospitality destinations to real estate developments, approached through a process that melds precedent, modern form and honest construction.

A Charleston-based lighting studio designs and makes the Workstead luminaire collection, crafted in the Appalachian Mountains of Virginia, where each fixture is conceived as a source of illumination, a visual statement and an interactive object. The studio has been counted among the AD100 leaders in global design.
