Crystal Shell Blown Glass Luxe Sconce by Shakuff

The philosophy of the Brooklyn-based blown glass design studio Shakúff Lighting is that it sees “creation as an act of collaboration.” Known for its bespoke pieces, Shakúff produces custom lighting through a simplified process that makes it easy for clients to create one-of-a-kind modern lighting solutions and chandeliers to fill their spaces with resplendent light and luminous effects.

Founded in 2007, Shakúff Lighting is the vision of Israel-born Joseph Sidof. Sidof spent his childhood imagining and making games with things he foraged, like shells, rocks and fruit pits. Sidof emigrated to the United States at age 18, where he got a job with his brother, blowing glass fashion jewelry. Through expanding on his skills and by creating partnerships in the design community, Shakúff Lighting was born.

Shakúff Lighting was informed by Sidof’s simple beginnings and the natural world, combined with further inspiration from the fine craftsmanship of the blown glass from Murano, Italy. The marriage of these influences has culminated in a sophisticated design approach that caters to prestigious clientele such as Lululemon, the GID Development Group, MGM Resorts International, Ann Sacks Tile and Stone and the Williamsburg Hotel. The studio has also partnered with many fellow creators and glass artists.

In addition to Shakúff Lighting’s installations for private and commercial clients, the design house seeks to preserve traditional artistry techniques. It supports a global initiative to maintain and share traditional methods of glass blowing, metalwork and other master craft skills.
