Lindsey Lights it Up
She's been getting attention lately, and distribution galore, from Future Perfect to Matter to ABC Carpet & Home: and it's for good reason. Lindsey Adelman's fixtures, with their visible filaments, hand-blown glass, and organic forms invoke nature, if not beautifully-awkward nature; it seems nature is quite the muse, the motivation, and the deserved darling of her modernism.
Indeed the fixtures hide nothing, instead adding beauty to the natural process of lighting the world with electric currents. They are made-to-order, out of clear glass or that with murrine and/or gold foil. As for hardware, choose from satin nickel, oil-rubbed bronze, 24k gold or white enamel. Shown here are the Cluster Table Light (above) and the Bubble Series (top).
