From lighting to lifestyle, Felicia Hung and Nick Ozemba are redefining how we interact with design. As the co-founders of the innovative lighting label In Common With and the immersive Tribeca retail-meets-hospitality experience Quarters, this dynamic pair have fused their creative vision into something far more than just a showroom — it’s a living, breathing style statement.
Since meeting at RISD, they’ve built a brand centered around transparency, collaboration, and craft. Their work blurs the lines between interiors, fashion, and fine art — and their personal style is just as considered. Below, they take us inside their wardrobes, their work, and the creative energy that ties it all together.
Fit One

On Felicia: Combine de Filles jacket, Mara Hoffman shirt, Rachel Comey trousers, Dr. Martens shoes
The Origin Story
Nick: When we launched In Common With in 2018, we focused on made-to-order lighting — handmade, locally produced, and fairly priced. We partner with studios in Brooklyn, most with fewer than 10 people. It’s about more than just product — it’s about how things are made, who makes them, and how they’re experienced.
Felicia: From the beginning, we wanted transparency. We made pricing public on our site, which wasn’t common in the design world back then. That kind of openness is core to how we do things.
What Is Quarters?
Nick: Quarters was never going to be a traditional showroom. We wanted it to feel like someone’s home — warm, immersive, and alive. There’s lighting we designed, vintage pieces we restored, furniture we’re now producing, and collaborations with other creatives like Sophie Lou Jacobsen. We even opened a bar and are building a third-floor space with a commercial kitchen and dining room. It’s where home, design, and fashion meet.
Fit Two
On Nick: Bottega Veneta coat and jacket, Jil Sander shirt, Marni trousers and sneakers
On Felicia: Girls of Dust jumpsuit, Ulla Johnson shirt, Eytys shoes
Style Roots
Nick: I think it comes from our love of materials. There’s something fascinating about the texture, the way fabrics are constructed — same as our work in design. We couldn’t really afford fashion before the studio took off, but we always appreciated it.
Felicia: Before design school, I didn’t think much about personal style. But learning about form, material, and culture through design helped me express myself through clothing, too. It’s another creative outlet.
Design Meets Wardrobe
Felicia: Our personal styles are kind of in sync — we often unintentionally match. We lean into earthy tones and pieces that mix seamlessly.
Nick: I think our style — both in clothing and in our work — is about intimate, subtle details. You might not notice something right away, but when you get close, it reveals itself.
Fit Three
On Nick: Birrot coat, Marni jacket, Bottega Veneta shirt, Tombogo trousers, Salomon sneakers
On Felicia: Wetheknot jacket, Julia Heuer shirt, Toogood trousers
Style Synchronicity
Nick: We once bought the exact same outfit without realizing it. Then we both showed up wearing it. That was wild.
Felicia: We don’t overthink styling. It’s about functional, well-made pieces that all work together. I can grab almost anything from my closet and it’ll match — same goes for Nick. It’s uniform dressing, but elevated.
Fit Four
On Nick: Marni jacket and trousers, Lemaire shirt, Maison Margiela shoes
On Felicia: Vintage coat, Social Call trousers, Rachel Comey shoes
Balancing Business and Friendship
Felicia: Running two businesses together is intense. But we’re like a married couple — Nick was even my first husband, sort of.
Nick: In the early days, we worked side by side nonstop. Felicia literally lived in my closet while I had a boyfriend — it was a real throuple moment. But we’ve always shared the same vision and drive, and that’s what keeps us strong. No matter how tough it gets, we push through because we believe in this together.
What’s Inspiring You Right Now?
Nick: Too many things. We’re working on six collections at once — a mix of new materials, collaborations, and long-term ideas.
Felicia: We’re exploring pattern in a way we haven’t before. A lot of our previous work focused on raw materials. Now, with fused glass lighting, we’re experimenting with colors and visual textures. It’s challenging, but exciting.
Fit Five
On Nick: Bottega Veneta sweatshirt, Assembly shirt, Camiel Fortgens trousers, Ferragamo shoes
On Felicia: Marni jacket and trousers, The Frankie Shop shirt
Pushing Beyond the Familiar
Felicia: Fused glass lets us create pattern in a way we couldn’t before. It’s expressive, and it plays with light in unpredictable ways. The same piece can look completely different when it’s turned on. It’s pulling us out of our comfort zone in a good way.
Nick: The collection drops in May. We’ve been looking at everything from Dan Flavin’s neon installations to the geometric beauty of Gee’s Bend quilts. It’s been deeply visual and hands-on — and we’re thrilled about it.
The Forever Outfit
Nick: Probably baggy denim, a tank top, a heavy overcoat, and sneakers. I basically wear that every day. I love a good uniform — something I don’t have to think about but still feels good.
Felicia: I’d go with a heavy cotton jumpsuit, a loose tee, comfy sneakers, and a thick jacket. Simple, strong, and versatile — just like our approach to design.
