The female-owned Andrea Claire Studio is making innovative strides to create eco-conscious, modern lighting that is sustainable, sculptural and wholly unique in design.
The studio was founded in 2011 in Brooklyn, New York, by American architect and artist Andrea Claire. She was inspired to create her lighting line after years of working with famed architect Frank Gehry, architecture and design firm The Rockwell Group, and the late acclaimed installation artist Vito Acconci.
Driven by a love of art and architecture and an eco-conscious ethos, Andrea Claire Studio uses renewable materials such as mouth-blown glass, bamboo veneer and hand-cast porcelain in their chandeliers and pendant lights, wall sconces and floor lamps.
Claire, an avid surfer, draws inspiration from the ocean in many of her lighting fixtures. The Pisces lighting collection, for example, came to fruition after she observed the movement of glowing kelp blades in the deep blue depths of the sea off the coast of Malibu. The line’s individual pieces are named after iconic surfboard designers — the Hilbers chandelier is named for Brian Hilbers, the McTavish chandelier is named for Australian surfboard guru Bob McTavish, and the Malcolm and Jacob sconces honor the Campbell Brothers Surfboards brand.
The influence of modernist Romanian sculptor Constantin Brâncusi is also evident in the studio’s Sublimation-Thorn collection, which comprises glass shades, ellipses, stone blocks, thorns and spheres. Claire’s own inventive “polyhedron” geometric shape also features in pieces such as the Cassiopeia, Galaxy and Sunflower mobile chandeliers.
Since its inception, Andrea Claire Studio has amassed an A-list clientele, including MGM and Rosewood hotels and renowned interior designers such as Jean-Louis Deniot, Nicole Hollis and Elizabeth Bolognino, to name a few.
In 2017, Andrea Claire Studio expanded to the West Coast, opening a design and production studio in Los Angeles, California.
