based in new york, designer nadia belalia creates lighting and sculptures using thin metal mesh. i loved her “sardine” ceiling lamps right away because they remind me of those collapsible colanders that i grew up watching my grandmother use (or the colander light genevieve made on trading spaces back in the day). though she grew up in the south of france (swoon), nadia moved to nyc in 1989 and has been inspired by the “abundance and rawness” of industrial material in the city. her work includes floor, ceiling, wall and table lamps that give new life to reused, industrial materials. click here to view the full collection and contact nadia about purchasing.

i love how it looks in the dark. (last photo) such wonderful little projections on the wall. so atmospheric.
These are great! They are so different and would go perfect in my tiny apartment!
I love love love these lamps… but the link to contact her through her website seems to be broken. Anyone else have this problem?
Oh how creative. They would be a great mix for anyone’s decor.
BTW- I heard a rumor that Genevieve is going to have her own show on HGTV. Maybe just a rumor, but hope not:)
Wow, these lamps are incredible! They sure do inspire hey? Rinconia, the link worked ok for me. Maybe it was down for maintenance or something (:
This lighting is beautiful–I was thinking of the collapsible colanders as well. I love the way they are both industrial yet delicate at once.
Bonjour
