Barlas Baylar
Barlas Baylar is a New York City furniture designer most famous for his interpretive woodwork that manages to integrate the traditional with the modern, the natural with the manufactured. But he's also been making a big splash with lighting fixtures, which he's working on. adding to his already impressive following. His Monastery chandelier is a good example of Baylar's minimalist aesthetic that brings organic shapes to industrial materials. Reminiscent of ancient chainmail coifs, its modern styling makes it both classic and contemporary. And that is what draws the attention of his designs: they arrest the attention by the strange familiarity of everything.
