We feel that an energized, interdisciplinary approach is crucial to innovative design and extraordinary execution, as evident in every object we produce. Artists, craftspeople and production staff are encouraged to experiment and dream, transcending traditional boundaries and hierarchies. Forms and ideas evolve through 1:1 model making and constant testing. With more than 20 employees between the NoHo neighborhood of Manhattan and our outpost in Los Angeles, the studio is a creative laboratory with an unusual level of collaboration. We design, prototype and build in-house, working with a close circle of local manufacturers to develop and produce custom parts. Since then, we have explored the visual tension between organic and industrial forms in a number of disciplines, introducing boundary-challenging designs from an innovative palette of materials. Her work has been shown at the Cooper Hewitt Museum, Design Miami and Milan’s Nilufar Gallery.Ī native New Yorker, she lives in Manhattan with her husband, in 2006, our studio’s signature aesthetic was born with the release of our very first product: the Branching Bubble chandelier, a virtually limitless custom configuration that combines the idiosyncratic natural grace of blown glass with rational, machined components. Today, history, poetry, architecture and modernism continue to inform her designs. Within days she applied to the Rhode Island School of Design. It was there, watching an artisan carve a lifelike french fry out of Styrofoam, that she first discovered industrial design and knew instantly it was her future. While she sketched constantly as a child, she studied literature in college and began her career working on catalog text at the Smithsonian museums. Her aesthetic reflects an untraditional background. Combining organic, handwrought materials like blown glass with the strong industrial beauty of machine-milled components, her lighting systems create radiant warmth while underscoring the drama of shadows and emptiness. Ever since the debut of the Branching Bubble chandelier, the first product made in her newly opened studio in 2006, her goal has been to transform the ephemeral nature of light into something not merely tangible but enduring. Her work treads the porous border between sculpture and design, taking inspiration from such diverse sources as Eva Hesse’s Rope sculptures, the pattern, colors, and bodily ornamentation of the Maasai, and the films of David Lynch. Lindsey Adelman has long been obsessed with illumination in all its forms.
