STUDIO LUDDITE
OUR STORY
Studio Luddite is a New York City based design studio passionately engaged in the exploration of materials, functionality, and manufac- turing techniques. Using enduring materials and simple geometric forms, we create utilitarian objects of distinction and integrity.
OUR PHILOSPHY
Our name is a subtle tribute to the Luddite movement, which was es- tablished in the 19th century by artisans who fiercely defended the value of handmade craft in the face of industrialization. The Luddites advocated for the preservation of craftsmanship and skilled labor. This resonates deeply with our core belief that the objects we surround ourselves with should be fabricated by craftsmen and with intent.
OUR FOUNDER
Studio Luddite was established by Principal Lex Zee, an industri- al designer who, prior to developing the Studio Luddite collection in 2020, specialized in designing custom lighting within the design trade industry. Lex’s philosophy prioritizes an intentional design process as the foundation for impactful work.

OUR MATERIALS
All Studio Luddite fixtures begin with solid brass, hand-oxidized for unique character and natural variation. We carefully source solid nat- ural stone, embracing its inherent shifts in pattern and color, while our leather fixtures use genuine hides formed into stacked disks that highlight the natural imperfections along their edges. Our wood fix- tures are crafted from solid oak or walnut and finished with a matte seal, celebrating the material’s grain and warmth.
