This Saturday my brother’s getting married. I leave in the morning for the wedding and it’s interesting timing that the last few days all the dialogue my friends and I have been in over email has revolved the idea around women being able to manage families and careers and the variety of approaches they take. My dear friend Monica has been sending article after article assessing these situations and wants to create a panel discussion so that we can avoid past pitfalls – I’m a believer though that everyone’s situation is entirely unique. Lindsey Adelman has both a successful career in utilizing industrial design in the home and what sounds like an idyllic family in Brooklyn.
Lindsey creates hand blown bubbles that she turns into a variety of types of lighting fixtures – the above are her knotty bubbles.
Many are in various numbers of bubbles affixed to metal rods in clusters – sometimes 6, sometimes 9. Some are rolled in gold leaf others are clear some have helix-like stripes and others are colored- the combinations seem endless. Lindsey attended Kenyon and RISD (I.D.) to gain these skills.
Above is the Cluster Table Lamp, which I love because of the amoeba-y shapes coming of the sides of the glass, the way the light refracts is great.
She doesn’t just stick to lighting and clearly the idea of the barnacle is one that intrigues her just like it does Tristin Lowe.
Love it!
