Judi Sadan, with a background in art, design, and antiques, started hand sewing and recovering vintage silk lampshades as a hobby in the early 1990's. Soon thereafter a business was born and not before long she grew to be a well-known leader in the design of one-of-a kind unique custom lampshades, whose signature is her use of a wide variety of deep rich and subtle colors. Her studio is highly recognized for its diversity in hand sewn shade designs, an eclectic collection including designs such as: Victorian, Art Deco, Mid-Century, Classic and Modern. Judi's lamps are created not only with a deep empathy for color, but also with intuitive care for fabric, whether they are gorgeous imported textiles or luxurious vintage fabrics. Each of Judi's lamps receives meticulous and individual attention, during their creation at the Judi's Lampshades Studio, which is dedicated to the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship. These unique Objets d'Art are fashioned out of treasures discovered by Judi and her partner Jack, who, being experienced antique market enthusiasts are always on the look out for distinctive antique originals, including vintage lamp-bases and other parts from a wide variety of periods. These originals are then brought to the Studio for painstaking restoration, refinishing and rewiring before they become her celebrated Objets d'Art. The business started in 1995 working with wholesale clients, world-wide designers, well-known collectors, & retailers. In 1997 a great variety of her unique lighting pieces were sold at the renowned ABC Carpet & Home, NYC. In 2003 this store invited Judi Sadan to run her own retail shop on their first floor. Business & custom work exploded since those early days. At present Judi is back to her roots & concentrating on various new designs solely in her Brooklyn studio. |
