In 2004, sculptor Carl Dern and designer Karen Brown began to investigate relationships among natural forms and how those forms may be applied to what had been traditionally known as a chandelier.
Carl’s background in sculpture and table design combined well with Karen’s aesthetic acumen and her experience with product and visual design. Their process is one that discovers how natural forms can be used in a sculptural context to address traditional lighting. Their work makes use of cast bronze branches, sticks, and twigs with aged wood patinas, semi-precious stones, and freshwater pearls.
