Transom House · The First Edition
Rooms, considered.
Complete rooms, designed as sets, for California houses. Seven rooms open soon, and the list gets in first.
A room is a set of decisions: scale, material, light, the distance between a sofa and the table in front of it. Each Transom House room is a finished set of those decisions.
The rooms
Seven rooms, each one finished.
Every room is a complete set of decisions: scale, material, light. When we open, take the whole room or start with a single piece.

The list
First through the door
Pieces, prices and delivery dates go to the list first.
Inside the living room
One room, every decision made.
A deep sofa faces a pair of chairs across a low table, with room to walk between them. One sculptural light overhead does the work of four ordinary ones.
In the first edition
A sculptural plaster pendant
One light overhead, shaped like a low bowl, that does the work of four ordinary ones.

The first edition, up close
Made of things that age well.
The name
Light before the door opens.
A transom is the window above a door: the small, often overlooked part of a house that lets light into the hall before anyone opens it.
We took the name because that is the work we like best. The quiet decisions that make a room feel right before anyone can say why.
How it will work
A whole room, without the hundred decisions.
-
Choose a room
Start with a finished room, designed as a set. Every piece will show its dimensions, its materials and its lead time.
-
Take it whole, or one piece
Order the entire room, or only the pieces your house needs. A room is a starting point, not a rule.
-
Delivered into the room
Larger pieces will arrive by white glove: carried in, unpacked, set in place, and the packaging taken away.
