Sharing the Spotlight: Lindsey Adelman and Gabriel Hendifar

[upbeat music] And thank you guys for doing this.

Um, we've been talking about this for quite a while, so I'm glad to actually be here in this incredible space, um, which will be, um, we'll be taking beautiful photos for the print issue, um, in the Apparatus studio, um, in the Red Room.

Well, tech- technically not in the Red Room.

Or Gabriel, tell me where exactly we are in this room-

[laughs] We are-

... what do you call this room?

[laughs] Um, we call this a number of things.

I would say right now it's serving the dining room, which is how we designed the space.

It's, um, we're in a- we're, we're at a burl wood table, and we're surrounded by mirrors, so we're kind of infinitely reflected as we have what I think is gonna be kind of like a metaphysical conversation.

[laughs]

We don't, yeah, we don't often get into metaphysical conversations-

[laughs]

...

but, um, Lindsey Adelman, um, you know, we're here to have this little moment, right? And to talk about something that's totally vital to life on Earth, but also extremely intangible and something people don't often think about, which is light, and the many ways in which it kind of manifests itself from design and just the spirit also.

Um, but before we get started, um, I've known you for quite some time, going back here in the New York design scene, even though I just realized a few moments before we started rolling that I've been mispronouncing your last name.

[laughs]

[laughs]

Uh, Gabriel, obviously you're a returning champion-

[laughs]

... here on The Grand Tourist.

Um, one of our more popular episodes, I might add, of that season, which was, um, I looked it up, it was, um, quite successful, of course.
