Each fixture is made to order with hand-blown glass globes and custom metal fittings, all crafted locally. Options for glass include clear or with murrine and/or gold foil. Hardware finishing options include satin nickel, oil-rubbed bronze, brushed brass or 24k gold. Lead time is 10 weeks. We now offer a "mock-up phase" for feedback by building a model of the fixture with plastic globes that we can hang at your site, if local, or photograph if out of the NY area. We can also handle delivery and installation if desired. Our studio welcomes a close, collaborative process with our clients and is open to custom modifications and interpretations.

Bio

After Lindsey Adams Adelman completed her BA in English from Kenyon College, she worked for the Smithsonian Institution where she discovered Industrial Design when meeting an exhibition fabricator carving French fries out of foam. Inspired by the thought of an activity like this passing for a real job, she went on to earn her BFA in I.D. from the Rhode Island School of Design. After graduation, she worked for Resolute Lighting in Seattle before returning to her native New York to work for David Weeks Studio. In 2000, Weeks and Adelman founded Butter, a design studio focusing on affordable products for the home. In 2005, they said good-bye to Butter and Adelman set off to work on her own projects, including launching a successful line of hand-blown custom chandeliers as well as spending endless hours making intricate, meticulous drawings with human hair. The work has been included in the Cooper-Hewitt Design Triennial and Design Miami and has received awards from the ICFF Editors, ID, Blueprint, and the Altoids Curiously Strong Designer Awards. It has been published in The New York Times, The World of Interiors, Met Home, Interior Design, Paper, Harper’s Bazaar, and American Craft, as well as in the books New Designers: Americas, Dish, and Brooklyn Design among others. Lindsey lives with her husband Ian and their son Finn in Brooklyn.
