5-bulb Clamp Light Chandelier By Lindsey Adelman Studios

For generations, heavy clamps were used to anchor elements together during the construction and farming process. These sculptural hunks of metal, as beautiful as they are practical, largely are obsolete, but we have made it our mission to search the country for them, turning their history and strength into unique lighting fixtures, pendants and chandeliers. After they are carefully replated (letting their original markings shine through), our glass maker blows directly into each one, then tightens the clamp on the molten material to fashion an armature. Using different sized clamps and a variety of chains, with glass that can range from pale grey tint to an indulgent white-on-white cane pattern, we twist the effect, softening the tough-edged industrial implement while celebrating its legacy.
