Lindsey Adelman Furniture

American

Venturesome Manhattan lighting designer Lindsey Adelman creates dramatic chandeliers, pendants and decorative objects that draw on natural forms and frequently see an integration of blown glass, porcelain and vintage brass. 

Having already earned her undergraduate degree in English, Adelman worked as an editorial assistant at the Smithsonian museums until she met a woman carving french fries out of foam for an exhibition. This chance meeting proved to be a turning point in her life, as Adelman decided to pursue a career in design. 

Adelman began to work for a manufacturer in Seattle that produced hand-blown glass lighting fixtures after earning a degree in industrial design at the Rhode Island School of Design during the late 1990s. She determined that she would focus on lighting design and moved to New York City. 

In Manhattan, Adelman cofounded a lighting studio called Butter with designer David Weeks in 2000. Six years later, she opened her own eponymous firm. The studio’s inaugural design was Adelman’s Branching Bubble chandelier, an elegant, sculptural fixture that features hand-blown glass spheres created by Brooklyn artist Michiko Sakano. It gave way to a collection of other chandeliers, pendants, sconces and floor lamps.

Adelman’s work, which is inspired by poetry, nature and art by the likes of Alberto Giacometti, has been exhibited at the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum. She served as a judge for the 2015 Cooper-Hewitt National Design Award and led design workshops for kids that were hosted by the institution. Her provocative Catch collection of pendants was exhibited at the Nilufar Gallery in Milan.

Large Haeger Modern Ceramic Drip Glaze Vase Vessel Raku Collection
By Haeger
Located in Chesterfield, NJ
Large and impressive Japanese influenced vase by Haeger. This vessel is from the 1980s and has a bulbous form with a slightly irregular opening and is finished in a charcoal black matte and metallic bronze colored drip glaze. Retains the original label on the bottom - Haeger, American Made, 4416. About Haeger Potteries, from Collectors Weekly: Founded in 1871 as the Dundee Brickyard, Haeger Potteries was one of the leading American manufacturers of art pottery, jardinieres, and figurines. Beyond bricks, its first products appeared around the turn of the century in the form of red flower pots for florists. By 1912, Haeger Potteries was offering customers multiple lines of what it called "artware," some influenced by an Arts and Crafts aesthetic (its buttress-handle vases come to mind), others hearkening back to forms developed by the ancient Greeks and given evocative names like Adam and Eve. One of the biggest changes in the company's fortunes occurred in 1938, when a designer named Royal Hickman was hired by Haeger. Hickman focused on Haeger's artware, a line that was quickly named Royal Haeger, presumably to capitalize on Hickman's reputation but also to imitate the names of potteries in England such as Royal Albert and Royal Doulton. The figurines produced by Royal Haeger, the most famous of which was Hickman's black panther from 1941, were a smash with customers, as was the company's white gazelle, whose style appeared to straddle Art Deco and Mid-Century Modern. Subsequent designers such as Eric Olsen added to the Royal Haeger legacy—his muscular red bull was introduced in 1955. Throughout its history, Haeger also made lamps, from models designed for tables and desks during the Art Deco era to its popular TV lamps of the 1950s. In fact, the Mid-Century Modern tendency runs strong in Haeger; collectors of vintage Haeger know that ceramists such Sascha Brastoff got their start working for the firm. Some of these same collectors look for vintage Haeger ashtrays...
