Aqua Pendant from jGoodDesign
by Collin Dunn, Corvallis, OR, USA on 10. 7.05
jGoodDesign melds retro and space-age design into one with their handblown glass pendants. Designer Jeffrey Goodman considers his designs to be a meeting of the urban vibe of his Greenwich Village studio with the nostalgia, wonder and amusement of his childhood in coastal New Jersey. According to their website, it was this childhood on the seashore, surrounded by the fragile ocean ecosystem, that Goodman learned to respect and honor his environment. These influences yield a unique, timeless and fun aesthetic. The Aqua Pendant lamp is an example of such, made from recycled glass and aluminum hardware treated with non-toxic finishes. Other works in the collection also use bamboo as an alternative to hardwood. ::jGoodDesign
