Villa Denial is a studio focused on distinctive and redesigned lighting pieces from the 19th century to today.

Founded by Emma & Elle Stang, the name is inspired by the timeless charm of their grandparents' antiques-filled home, affectionately nicknamed "Villa Denial" for its dreamy refusal to live in the present.

The studio brings history forward through a contemporary lens, pairing restored lamps with custom shades made from materials gathered across their lives and travels between Paris and New York. Each piece is personal and layered, designed to cast a warm, storied light.

Some things are too beautiful to leave in the past…
