Emma Luna Studio is my jewelry company where I design and fabricate all pieces by hand. I created an e-commerce website to sell these pieces and continue to manage this on a daily basis.
44 consists of free-poured aluminum pieces that are suspended and become a conductor for a light source. I was involved in the creation of this sculptural lighting piece from conception to production.
During the conceptual stage, I managed a team of four metal workers. We worked together to melt and pour iterations of what would become our ideal design. Afterwards, I designed the hardware for the light source.
This piece was eventually installed on a grand scale at the Barbican in London.

73 is a blown glass pendant that uses fabric to create texture during the production process.
I managed a team of glassblowers during the conceptual stage of this product, and then designed the hardware to suspend this piece using Solidworks.

76 is a stratified glass and metal lighting object. To create this piece, I managed a team of five glassblowers, leading them through a wide range of prototypes before settling on a final design for production.
After this, I developed the first iteration of the hardware required to illuminate and suspend this as a pendant and a wall sconce.

74 is a track light system that has been rethought. Using magnets and a sphere like shape for the light source, the light can be rotated to any desired angle.
84 is one result generated through an exploration of combining copper and glass. I was involved with the development of this piece from conception in the glass shop through fine tuning the hardware.
I designed and created the moulds necessary for the production of each glass piece, and then modeled the hardware for suspension and illumination in Solidworks.

87 series is a pulled glass pendant with a unique suspension system. I designed the hardware for this piece in Solidworks, with presentations made in Adobe Creative Suite.

17 are large marble tables that I designed in collaboration with Omer Arbel at Bocci.
I conceptualized and designed the base for these tables.

Some ceramic pieces that I’ve been experimenting with over the last year or so.
31 is a collection of polygon glasses and solid diamonds, to make up a matrix of shapes the nest together.

8.0 is a chair using Ductal concrete. The material choice was key because of the cantilevered seat. The cantilever is possible because of the fibers in the concrete.

I worked for Billy Cotton during the initial launch of the company. I designed the very first collection – sketching each piece by hand, drawing them up in software and then revising those drafts until final production.
I also designed and managed the website for Billy Cotton while also renovating and redesigning the interiors of several residences in NYC and East Hampton.
