Edison Orb
Client: Many
Project Date: 2008 – Current
Lewin created her first Edison Orb by hand in 2011 while experimenting with recycled glass and aluminum. Derived in form from the original designs and molds used to make her 2008 sculpture “The Pool”.
Lewin’s Edison Orbs are hand-made LED lamps created from over 2000 hand-cut and welded aluminum rings framing 350 vintage hand-made glass Edison Bulb “shells.” The fixtures cast a unique light pattern and transform spaces from private homes to commercial spaces and have been featured in The Kitchen restaurants nationwide.
Each Edison orb is unique and is hand-made by Jen Lewin and her team. Each orb is 36″ in diameter x 14″ tall and weighs roughly 32 lbs.
