Jenna Lyons (b. 1968) is an American designer known for her career in fashion, interior design, and personal style. She was the creative director and president of J.Crew, and later expanded her focus to the world of home decor, where lighting plays a key role in her aesthetic.
Lyons emphasizes that lighting is not an accessory: it is an architecture that shapes the space. She prefers table lamps, sconces, and floor lamps over ceiling lights; She seeks soft atmospheres, warm effects, and details like vintage lamps and aged metal finishes. Her collection with Roll & Hill, The Laddi, exemplifies this: it combines unvarnished brass, translucent glass, and shapes that intertwine between the classic and the contemporary.
For her, good lighting design transforms the everyday into something memorable: good lighting involves considering materials, proportions, and how light shapes both objects and shadows.
