Noz Nozawa, known for her colorful, collected spaces and singular fashion sense, has launched a jewelry-inspired lighting collection guaranteed to brighten up your urban home.
Speaking of jewels: Designer Lauren Harwell Godfrey (coincidentally a friend and client of Noz) has opened a sparkling new shop in Larkspur. Be dazzled.

If you’ve been searching for distinctive chandeliers, pendants and sconces, the new collection from SF interior designer Noz Nozawa and Corbett Lighting is spot on.
ICYMI: Nozawa and her firm Noz Design are in demand for creating one-of-a-kind, artful and immersive spaces that exude a “collected over time” aesthetic. Designing jewelry is also a serious passion of hers. Corbett Lighting, part of Hudson Valley Lighting Group, is known for its sophisticated, luxe lighting.
When the two got together? Yeah, sparks flew.
Each of the collection’s 16 pieces are named for the jewelry motifs that inspired them and feature fanciful details like a draped gold chain on a lariat chandelier.
Naturally, Nozawa is amped about her debut lighting collection: “Lighting—especially layered lighting—is the thing that makes a room feel complete and is an incredibly powerful component of the experiential design of a room, from the placement of architectural lighting to the decorative lighting that adds so much dimension to a space,” she says.

Loved for her dazzling and often whimsical bling, fine jewelry designer and Marin local Lauren Harwell Godfrey has opened a gorgeous jewel box boutique at Marin Country Mart. The 111-square-foot store is as brilliant as HG’s signature gemstone pieces, with an entrance-making Murano rainbow-glass chandelier bouncing light against polished amethyst walls and decorative painter Caroline Lizarraga's hand-burnished gold-leafed ceiling.
On having made the move from her private studio to an open-to-the-public retail space, Harwell Godfrey is digging into her community and growing roots. "I'm really looking forward to the opportunity to engage more directly with customers and admirers of my work," she says, "allowing them to experience my pieces in a deeper context."
For our part, we'd like to get up close and personal with baubles like HG's Press for Champagne ring and her spicy tequila-themed charms. Can you sense we're in a celebratory mood? // 2213 Larkspur Landing (Larkspur), harwellgodfrey.com
