HelenBilt Lighting

Residential. Retail. Restaurants.

Every fixture begins with a conversation and ends with something no one else has. Bespoke lighting designed for residential, retail, and restaurant spaces — fabricated by hand, here on the East End.

LIGHTING DESIGN

Always Custom.

HelenBilt doesn't sell off the shelf. Every piece is drawn, fabricated, and installed with the space — and the people in it — firmly in mind. The result is lighting that feels less like a product and more like a part of the room it was made for.

Three signature collections — the Urchin, the Concord, and the blown-glass Vidro — anchor a practice built entirely around the custom commission.

Always Perfect.

Living room with gray walls, a white fireplace, a large window with curtains, and modern furniture.

A spherical chandelier hangs from the ceiling.

Modern white dining room with an oval table, white chairs, a black potted orchid, colorful abstract wall art, and red pendant lights.

VIDRA

OUR WORK

RESIDENTIAL LIGHTING

From the entryway to the library, we work directly with homeowners and their designers to create pieces that feel inevitable.

that tells your home's story

RESIDENTIAL DESIGNS

Living room with a modern gray fireplace, flat-screen TV, and artwork including Chanel perfume poster and a portrait of a woman with short black hair. There are white and blue armchairs, a round coffee table with a floral centerpiece, and large windows with white curtains.

RETAIL LIGHTING

Retail lighting is theater. We help brands shape the way a customer feels the moment they walk in — and long after they leave.

That Makes Your Product Shine

RETAIL DESIGNS

Inside a clothing store with a rack of various dresses and tops on wooden hangers, large hanging glass orbs reflecting light, a floral artwork of a close-up of a person's body and hair on the wall, and a black and white photograph of a back view of a wet-haired woman on another wall.

RESTAURANT LIGHTING

Fixtures that set the scene

The right fixture can change how a table feels at 8 pm. We've lit dining rooms that diners remember as warmly as the meal.

RESTAURANT DESIGN

Interior of a stylish bar with a light blue counter and matching bar stools, a brick wall, and shelves stocked with various spirits, glasses, and hanging pendant lights.

A bar with a metallic countertop, upholstered bar stools with red cushions, decorative molding on the lower part, and candles on the counter. Behind the bar are shelves with liquor bottles, a wine rack on the wall, and glasses. The ceiling has intricate, ornate tin ceiling tiles and modern hanging pendant lights.

A crowded restaurant with many diners seated at tables enjoying their meals. The ceiling has large, decorative pendant lights and a wall decorated with mirrors and a landscape painting.

SUSTAINABLE LIGHTING CREATION

By East End Artisans

Sustainability at HelenBilt is not a policy — it is the architecture of how every piece is made. Repurposed incandescent bulbs reduce environmental impact from the very first element, paired with recycled steel and glass throughout the fabrication process.

Each fixture begins with hand-drawn sketches and site-specific photography before Helen collaborates with a carefully chosen circle of East End artisans and craftsmen — all within a 15-mile radius of her Sag Harbor studio. Helen rides her bicycle to most design meetings, and runs HelenBilt as a live-work studio to further reduce the carbon footprint of the practice.

The result is a limited-production facility dedicated to sourcing locally, manufacturing responsibly, and utilizing recycled or repurposed materials at every stage. In an industry where luxury and conscience rarely share the same room, HelenBilt proves they were always meant to hang together.
