What Lindsey Adelman Studio does

Lindsey Adelman Studio is a privately held New York limited liability company founded in 2006 by Lindsey Adelman that designs and manufactures hand-blown glass and brass lighting fixtures, illuminated sculptures, and wallpaper. The studio operates from a 10,000-square-foot headquarters and showroom in Manhattan's NoHo neighborhood and maintains a showroom residency at The MAK Center for Art and Architecture in Los Angeles. Its portfolio spans thirteen production lighting collections (including Andromeda, Overglow, Branching Bubble, Cherry Bomb, Drop System, Kingdom, Paradise, and Knotty Bubbles) plus a Limited Works category of one-of-a-kind fine-art pieces produced through its LaLAB experimental platform. Manufacturing is anchored in New York with glass components fabricated in collaboration with master glass artists Michiko Sakano and Nancy Callan at UrbanGlass in Brooklyn, and selected designs are protected by US design patents (Drop System, Kingdom) with further patents pending for Paradise.

The studio sells primarily through direct, appointment-only consultations with interior designers, architects, and high-net-worth collectors, supplemented by gallery partnerships with The Future Perfect and TIWA Select and presence at Design Miami/, Milan Design Week (Alcova), and MATTER and SHAPE in Paris. Revenue is generated from one-time product sales across tiers ranging from under $2,500 for entry pendants to $40,000+ for large-scale installations, higher-value bespoke commissions involving custom drawings and CAD files, limited-edition fine-art pieces, and licensing royalties from the Eden wallpaper collaboration with Calico Wallpaper. The studio is founder-controlled with no disclosed outside investors, funding rounds, or institutional ownership.
