Andrea Claire Studio was founded in Brooklyn, New York in 2011. Drawing on her talents in both art and architecture, Andrea created a customizable, scalable, sustainable, sculptural lighting system.  

The work draws a visionary and sophisticated clientele, and the studio has become a trusted partner to interior designers and architects all over the world.

Clients include notable properties, architects and designers such as Rosewood Hotels, Jean-Louis Deniot, David Kleinberg Design Associates, Robert A.M. Stern, Nicole Hollis, and Victoria Hagan.

Andrea achieved a BFA and B. of Architecture from Rhode Island School of Design, and an MFA from California Institute of the Arts. She has an architectural license in New York and worked for design A-listers such as Frank Gehry and David Rockwell.

In 2017 Andrea Claire Studio expanded to the West Coast of the U.S. with a Los Angeles design and production studio.

OUR Ethos

We make objects that outlast their moment.

Sculptural lighting conceived slowly, built by hand, balanced in our space before it enters yours. Brass and ancient materials: blown glass, cast glass, porcelain, Hanji paper, bamboo. Each chosen for what it becomes over time, not what it promises on first encounter. Each one transformed by breath, by hand, by fire.

Our work lives at the edge of what lighting is allowed to be, part object, part presence, part something that doesn't have a clean category. We have always preferred that territory. The pieces that stop a room are never the ones that explain themselves.

Every configuration is made for one space and one space only. Nothing is repeated exactly. Nothing is rushed. Some problems can only be solved at full scale, with real weight, by people who have been doing this long enough to know the difference.

More than Fifteen years. The world's most demanding interior designers. Our work is still in the rooms it was made for.

That is what we mean by forever. Not a promise. A track record.

These are objects to be loved, held onto, and passed down. In this world, that is a radical act.
