Krasnogorov Studio x Blueprint is an eight-piece collection of wood lighting, and each fixture is named for a plant. Blueprint builds it at its Norwood, New Jersey, production house from components hand-carved by Vladimir Krasnogorov.

Krasnogorov made his name on bespoke work, most notably the made-to-order Pearl Chandelier. His studio calls the style Nouvelle Art Nouveau, and the label fits: whiplash curves, minus the fuss. This collaboration splits the labor. He shapes the wood. Blueprint supplies the metalwork, the glass, and the production.

The wood comes cerused, tobacco or ebonized. All of it is finished by hand. Metal options include brass, bronze and nickel. Each light source is a globe of blown glass or alabaster, cupped by the carving like a seed in its pod.

The range covers chandeliers, sconces and a floor lamp. Petals line up along a linear chandelier, open on cantilevered arms, or rise on two crossed stems in the Iris Floor Lamp. On some pieces the canopy is carved too. Ebonized, the forms turn graphic. Cerused, they go soft.

Earlier this year, Gupica left its bamboo raw. Krasnogorov takes the opposite route, working timber until it reads like a petal. Same natural-material brief, opposite instinct.

Blueprint calls these eight designs a first chapter, with more already in development. The collection is available to consumers and the trade now. A pair of Pothos sconces suits a boutique hotel corridor. The larger chandeliers belong over a private dining table or a members’ club bar, where carved wood lighting softens a room of stone and glass.
