LINDSEY ADELMAN CHANDELIER

Don’t have $10,000 to spend on a light fixture? Try these alternatives, or build you own version

There has been a move away from fussy crystal chandeliers to articulated, sculptural light fixtures in warm metals. The designs of Lindsey Adelman for the trendy Brooklyn lighting firm Roll & Hill are becoming iconic due to their flexibility and sleek look. Expect to pay more than $10,000 for this stunner, below left, but you can get a similar look with budget-friendly options, including one from Adelman herself. Wendy Jacob reports.
