The matte black rubber cord evokes the tires on a badass motorcycle. And then there’s that bulb. But in Buster + Punch’s version, the weighty metal socket is intricately honed with a signature diamond-cut knurling pattern so it looks like a cool guy’s bracelet. Several pendant fixtures are simply a bulb in a socket on a cord-the kind of light you’d see hanging off a grungy rafter in an urban motor garage.

Motorcycles and rock music aren’t what you’d expect to find inspiring a high-end furnishings brand, but they definitely played a role in the formation of Buster + Punch.
