Storied Venetian Lamps Shape These Whimsical Designs

Lindsey Adelman started off as a catalog writer for the Smithsonian, but after a chance encounter with an artisan who was carving foam French fries for an exhibition at the museum, she pivoted, studying industrial design at RISD and founding her namesake studio in 2006. Now, the New Yorker employs her storytelling chops to proffer hypnotic and narrative-driven luminaires. Overglow draws from 16th-century caged-glass lampioni: Venetian lamps once carried to light paths along the canals. The designs are made by mouth-blowing glass into sand-cast brass cages. Choose between eight distinct lights and two expressions. Specify the glass in opal, dew, fog, or plum colorway and the armature and custom-length stem in mottled-brass, oil-rubbed bronze, or tarnished-nickel finish. Another iteration with patterned glass is expected to debut this fall. Stay tuned!
