John Wigmore, Richard Meier Light & Spencer Fung

Richard Meier Light is a collaboration of three partners: Richard Meier, Ana Meier and Hervé Descottes. Part of the New York Five, and 1984 Pritzker Prize winner, Richard Meier is a world-renowned modernist architect. His geometric designs make prominent use of the color white. The creative director, Ana Meier, his daughter, began her investigation of art, design and the making of space as a product designer in her native New York City. Her earliest work focused on both abstract visual art and architecture. In 1993, Hervé Descottes founded the lighting design and consulting firm L’Observatoire International in New York. He has received awards from the International Association of Lighting Designers, the American Institute of Architects and in 2008 was named Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters by the French Minister of Culture. The 12-piece lighting collection elevates the art of lighting with simplicity, geometry and lightness. Richard Meier Light joined RALPH PUCCI in 2017.

Spencer Fung is a British architect, furniture designer and artist. Observing nature through sketching and painting is vital to him. He is drawn to the mysticism of clouds, the power of mountains and the majesty of trees. As a child in Hong Kong, he sought nature by clambering over the granite boulders on the shoreline and watching the dragonflies flit over the water. He studied architecture at Cambridge University and in 1990 founded his London-based architecture practice.
Nature inspires all of his work, and painting is an extension of his energetic creativity. Fung paints with Chinese ink, watercolor and Jurassic clay. He uses soil and minerals from rocks for pigment, lake, river or snow water, and clumps of moss, leaves or bundles of twigs as his paintbrush, sometimes using his fingers and hands to paint directly onto the paper or canvas. These things help him connect with the landscape and bring texture and interest to his work. Increasingly his paintings have become more abstract and expressionist as he reacts emotionally to what he sees in front of him. He is moved by the fragility of the natural world. His recent architectural work includes Daylesford Organic and the multi-award-winning Cotswold country house, the Wild Rabbit. He joined RALPH PUCCI in 2018.

John Wigmore is a lighting designer and artist who cites natural materials, Minimalism, and the Light and Space movement of Los Angeles in the 60s and 70s as influences for his first light sculptures in 1993. He has continued to work with established architects and interior designers to build atmospheric light installations globally. His latest work is in ceramic, inspired by the clarity and restraint of Mexican Modernist Luis Barragan’s architecture, the sensitivity of Japanese tea bowls and Californian ceramic artists, which he captured in clay, Japanese paper shades and light. They are all hand-built, not slip-cast, rolled out individual slabs of clay that Wigmore pieces together almost architecturally. He lives and works in Los Angeles, where his lighting is made. He rejoined RALPH PUCCI in 2014.
