DESIGNER FOCUS: CALEB SIEMON





ICFF starts today in New York City and although Provide will not be attending this years event, we are up-to-date with what some of our suppliers are showcasing. Caleb Siemon and Carmen Salazar without a doubt will have one the most stunning collections on view at the show. New work featured are handblown pendants shaped in lead free crystal, all designed and made by this creative and highly skilled team in California.

The Chaos pendants (middle picture) use a chaos wrap over clear or metallic crystal. Differences in melting temperatures are exploited to create a textural and bulbous surface. The wraps create unique and dynamic shadows on the surrounding environment. The Silver pendants (bottom) will patina over time creating a beautifully textured surface.

Although, Caleb Siemon does have an extensive collection, Provide is currently working with them on several special commissions in both lighting and vessels. At Provide, we are able to suggest and arrange special one-off pieces with many of the designers we work with to create truly unique installations.

Look for more of Caleb Siemon's beautiful glassblown work arriving soon at Provide.
