Roll & Hill was founded in 2010 by Jason Miller, whose experience as a designer and producer inspired him to create a company that might harness the talents of those independent designers, while offering a small-batch production model that’s more often associated with boutique studios.
Roll & Hill’s pieces draw from a rich materials palette that includes brass, bronze, leather, wood, hand-knotted rope and mouth-blown glass. Roll & Hill’s designers often pair historical elements with contemporary forms to create lights that feel familiar, yet totally new.
Roll & Hill is committed to making well-designed contemporary lighting for residential and commercial interiors.
The Nova Chandelier is a centerpiece fixture with an elegant and energetic composition. This contemporary chandelier branches out from a central point in a pure, geometric manner. It features hand-blown opal glass shades that house powerful, dimmable LEDs.
Originally conceived as a candelabra, Agnes takes its inspiration from the fictional heroine of the same name, a worker in the world's oldest profession during the 1849 California Gold Rush. The modular system would allow Agnes easy setup in her makeshift "workspace." In this version, glowing glass tubes replace the candles. Articulated joints allow the glass to be arranged in a multitude of ways.
Jewelry is the inspiration for Rudi, a series of pendant lamps named after Lukas Peet's father, a jeweler. Rudi is made from bent metal tubes that hold handmade cold cathode lamps. The fixtures hang from their cords, which are hand-knotted around metal tubes.
Half & Half is a pendant made of glass and steel, available in several finish options. A literal declaration of form, Jonah Takagi and Hallgeir Homstvedt have created a sense of completeness in their recent collaboration with Roll & Hill. The play between the geometric shapes was the starting point for this design. Half & Half is in many ways the archetype of a pendant lamp.
Rigid yet flexible, Pole's aluminum construction and modular design allows it to create giant curves. Pole illuminates a broad range of space in multiple configurations along walls, floors, and ceilings.
Esper takes inspiration from chochins, the archetypal lanterns typically found outside sushi restaurants and late night hangs-outs in Japan. The three different forms are distortions of the iconic lanterns, with smooth and spartan shapes that look to the future while retaining the humility of centuries past.
Jason Miller's Endless collection takes its inspiration from 1970s Super-graphics. After the reductionist intentions of modernism faded, some architects began to use large-scale graphic elements to define space. Graphic design became architecture;Endless was designed in the same spirit. Cylindrical sections and corner units allowEndless to be custom-configured as an architectural element.
A star-shaped, unlacquered brass base anchors a white oak stem and Italian glass shade. Composed of three unique elements perfectly mixed to create a graceful table lamp embracing the old and the new, stars and mushrooms.
