Sculptural Design Meets Functional Art
Renowned for her ability to merge interior design with artistic expression, Kelly Behun has been celebrated for her visionary approach to interiors. The New York Times has described her as "an interior designer with the eye of a gallerist," a distinction that perfectly encapsulates her ability to curate spaces—and now, lighting—that feel both artful and functional. In collaboration with Hudson Valley Lighting, Behun brings her distinctive aesthetic to a stunning collection of pendants, sconces, and lamps that reimagine lighting as sculptural statements.
