Lindsey Adelman

“When Lindsey Adelman turned a series of her drawings into a lighting collection she came up with something remarkable,” says Gray. He particularly likes her “Bubble” series, which he says is “a perfect example of what has always been so right about truly good American design—think George Nakashima or Wendell Castle back then, or Tyler Hays now. Parts are made locally, there’s attention paid to tiny details, and a touch of craft in the handblown glass elements.” Grays says that “like many of the great American designers, Adelman has broad appeal, because her work can live as easily in either a classic or a contemporary setting.”
