Designer Kelly Behun's new collection for Hudson Valley Lighting is as artful as sculpture. "I think lighting should be able to hold its own in a room, looking just as beautiful switched off as it does on," she says. An avid collector of ceramics and a member of the Architectural Digest AD100 list, Behun has translated her passion for form with shapely, geometric designs in tactile materials such as Nero Marquina marble, Spanish alabaster, black and cream enamel, and aged brass into a 30-piece collection of pendants, sconces, and table lamps. Behun first developed her gallerist eye as a designer with Ian Schrager Hotels; she later opened KellyBehun|Studio, where her clients include those with ties to the worlds of art, entertainment, tech, and politics.
