Lindsey Adelman

After earning her BA in English from Kenyon College and working for the Smithsonian Institution, Lindsey Adelman received a BFA from RISD. Following graduation she worked with at Resolute Lighting in Seattle before returning to NY to work for David Weeks. Adelman and Weeks collaborated on a paper clip-on lampshade that received awards from I.D. and Blueprint. In 2000, the two founded the company Butter to put Lunette into production. They went on to receive the Editor's award for lighting at the ICFF. At the same time, Adelman began a series of intricate, obsessive drawings made with human hair and tape on paper. The work quickly found its way into galleries and publications and continues to be created and shown internationally. In 2006 Adelman and Weeks said goodbye to Butter and Adelman began to design and produce light fixtures on her own. Recently featured in the New York TImes, the hand-blown glass chandeliers have enjoyed an immediate positive reception. The fixtures are now available at ABC, Matter and Karkula the drawings are currently shown with Vanessa Suchar and Matter. Lindsey lives with her husband, Ian, and their son Finn in Brooklyn. She participated in the NorthEastWest exhibition at galerie Lavignes Bastille in Paris.
