"Our studio's signature aesthetic was born with
the release of our very first product: the Branching
Bubble chandelier, which combines the organic
nature and blown glass with more rational, machined
components," says designer Lindsey Adelman.
"Since then, we have explored that visual tension
throughout a range of products and disciplines."
Last year, Adelman inaugurated her New York
City showroom that occupies the second floor of
the same building as her current studio—one that
acts as a creative laboratory—in Manhattan's NoHo
neighborhood, doubling her footprint to 10,000
square feet total. "A real motivation was to allow
our design and sales teams to work together and
meet clients … [who] like to get a sneak peek of the
behind-the-scenes process," Adelman says of the
concept. Adorned with artworks by Tanya Aguiñiga,
Fred Sandback and Robert Rauschenberg, the
welcoming, 5,000-square-foot showroom, which
comprises flexible lounge and seating areas, features
Adelman's handmade lighting pieces. It also hosts
furniture by the designer's past collaborators and
other creative minds, including The Future Perfect,
BDDW, Fort Standard, Matthew Hilton, Heartwork,

into our product development method
gives our clients a richer understanding
of our process and work," says Adelman.
"It's easier to absorb an idea or a certain
technology when you can see the material
or process happening right in front of you."
Blurring the lines between sculpture
and design, Adelman's perfectly balanced
creations, which are inspired from diverse
references, from Mondrian paintings to
the Albert Camus's books to Giacometti's
works and style, stand out in this loft-like
space. lindseyadelman.com
