LINDSAY ADELMAN’S FABULOUS BAUBLES

I first came across Lindsey Adelman’s lighting designs in one of my absolute favorite restaurants – Spring in London, and have since seen her lights everywhere I turn back here in NYC. That is when I discovered she is a New York City based brand! Fantastic. Her bauble-like hanging chandeliers are fun, yet sleek and modern, plus she runs a totally NYC-made operation. So, her designs are amazing, as are the ethics behind them. That equates to perfection in my book!

Launching her eponymous collection back in 2006, Adelman debuted with the now iconic Branching Bauble, a lighting fixture that is made up of modular brass pieces, with beautifully hand-blown glass bulbs. Over the last ten years, she has grown her concept of creating elegant, modular lighting designs inspired by nature with an industrial flare, into a highly sought after lighting design studio.

Not only does Adelman’s team hand assemble each custom-ordered piece, but she also sources any parts her team can’t make in-house from local craftsmen, like the wonderful Michiko Sakano Studio in Brooklyn, where all of the glass baubles are hand-blown. By making sure all of the pieces are custom-made to Adelman’s exact specifications, she can ensure the highest level of quality in both material and design.
