kieran kinsella

kieran kinsella's stools, small tables or "stumps" as he sometimes refers to them have caught my attention today...

kieran designs & sculpts really, side tables & stools by hand, hand-carving them from trunks of trees, and locally sourced materials found in new york's hudson valley. kieran also works in ceramic "with slip cast porcelain and hand built stoneware." they are limited editions, with designs based on his original wooden shapes.

also, kieran's glaze color palette changes often, so if you like his work (or love it like me!) keep tabs on his blog too, for updates, new designs and just artistic news in general. enjoy!

andrea claire studio

ok, andrea claire is NOT messing around with price, but there is a reason...this amazing line of mobile light chandeliers are each one of a kind sculptures really, and can be tailored by dimension, color & materials used...to any client's specifications. so...

andrea is a graduate of rhode island school of design and california institute of the arts (oh yeah, and she surfs too, so that's cool). born in new york, andrea currently resides, designs & creates in brooklyn but is expanding her business and studio work to california in 2016, according to her site.

andrea designs mobile lighting that is constructed in both wood and porcelain with a number of finish options. every chandelier is made to order. click on any "series" within a certain medium and the structure is explained in more detail and even suggested as to what type of space to hang it in. just so great. oh, and her instagram site is really great if you want to see pieces hung in a variety of environments. maybe yours soon? i wish too! enjoy!
