Here’s why your cook space needs one.

Don’t Hide It

In some homes, the scullery design is purely functional—even nondescript. Here, Aaron Mollick, principal and founder of Studio AM, did the opposite: He created a scullery so elegant that he spotlighted it in the kitchen.

“The arched nook was something we created intentionally as part of the kitchen expansion—we wanted to honor the home’s original northeast-facing arched window in the sitting room—so we echoed that shape with arched openings throughout,” he explains. “Keeping the window was essential. Without a door on the scullery, it stays open and airy, which means things can be left out without looking messy, and it doesn’t interrupt the visual flow of the space.”

Studio AM is incorporating the METEOR fixture by Christopher Boots into an otherworldly design project, where celestial inspiration meets intricate craftsmanship. Christopher Boots’ design philosophy, rooted in the Latin phrase Fiat Lux—“Let there be Light”—guides the creation of transformative lighting pieces that evoke a sense of wonder and cosmic energy.

The METEOR fixture channels the primal force of meteors and comets streaking across the sky, capturing their dazzling, otherworldly beauty. This piece embodies the dynamic movement of cosmic matter plummeting to Earth, with a carefully curated selection of smoky quartz and clear quartz crystals. The natural, uncut stones are handpicked for their unique gradations, adding an element of organic randomness that speaks to the raw, untamed power of the universe.

Handmade with love and precision by a diverse team of skilled artisans, each fixture reflects a perfect balance between art and function. The warm, ethereal glow emitted by the dimmable LED technology is diffused through the natural stones, creating a dramatic lighting effect that transforms any space with its cosmic presence. By collaborating with architects, interior designers, and private clients, Christopher Boots fosters a dialogue between worlds, bringing celestial beauty into earthly environments with each piece.

In the METEOR fixture, the boundary between the known and the unknown blurs, offering a sophisticated fusion of nature, light, and design. It is a radiant tribute to the awe-inspiring forces of the cosmos, meticulously translated into a stunning work of art.
