What a life! In 2012, we repurposed this +100 year old antique door from Build It Green! NYC in Gowanus into a chandelier for an Etsy holiday pop up shop in SoHo, NYC and then hung over the BIG! NYC cash wrap in Gowanus for a year and a half. It returned to us a few months ago and hung in our studio at 20 Grand Avenue until last night... This week urban chandy moved our studio space to 10 Grand Avenue (yes right next door) and upgraded to a ground floor space with a loading dock. To think I was making these fixtures in the bathroom of my Manhattan apartment to keep the stain fumes and saw dust away from my baby daughter (almost 2yo at the time) is funny...we've come a long way in 3 years! A few thousand Chandys later it's fun to look back at our earlier work to appreciate how unique and special each Urban Chandy is...just as special and unique as each of our AMAZING customers. All Urban Chandys are made to order in Brooklyn, NY. Photo taken Oct. 5, 2013 in Gowanus, Brooklyn, NY. In Oct 2013 we replaced half of the incandescent bulbs with LED bulbs that are made to look like Edison bulbs. — in Brooklyn, NY.
