The work is produced in a 19th century barn, surrounded by meadows and woodlands and many of his designs are influenced by the botanicals found in that landscape. He lives there with his wife, Odette Heideman, a potter. Known for his mastery of lighting technique, he has taken his 30 plus years as a photographer for still photography\/cinematography and applied that knowledge to his vision of interior lighting. The designs use a complicated mix of point source and broad source light to create an infinite number of subtle diffusions. Deeply influenced by the lighting used in European cinema, Christopher has considered light in terms of its dimensionality: his interest lies in the shapes and tones that light can produce. As a photographer he has travelled widely, experiencing indelible moments in both interior and exterior settings in the world’s most beautiful spaces. This exposure has been a major influence on his design decisions in terms of making objects, but also in understanding how those objects inhabit and effect an interior landscape.\u003cbr\u003eHe had his first show INTO THE LIGHT at Dobrinka Salzman Gallery in NYC on Nov 15, 2020. Many of his lights can be seen at the Gallery going forward. His work was included at SalonNY Art \u0026amp;amp; Design 2021 \u0026amp;amp; 2022. He was awarded “Best Contemporary Work, Best in Show” at Design Miami in 2024. His work has appeared in Architectural Digest, World of Interiors, Elle Decor, Departures and other magazines to date.\u003cbr\u003eHe has done many commissions for designers, architects and private clients worldwide. Recent commissions have included locations like Hong Kong, Bangkok, Austrialia, New York City, Los Angeles, Texas, Florida and Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Christopher Baker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44116954185818,"sku":null,"price":8000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0590\/3643\/4522\/files\/CHRISTOPHER-BAKER_Mobile001.jpg?v=1789688590"},{"product_id":"eleanor-anderson-turquoise-mobile","title":"Eleanor Anderson\t| Turquoise Mobile","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEleanor Anderson  \u003c\/strong\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eTurquoise Mobile\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eBraid, fused glass, copper wire    \u003cbr\u003e9” x 9” x 48”\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart of the group Exhibition \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.workingloose.com\/blogs\/exhibitions\/on-balancing-art-in-suspension\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eON BALANCING : Art in Suspension\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/eleanor-anderson.squarespace.com\/\"\u003eEleanor Anderson\u003c\/a\u003e (b. 1988) is a Portland, Maine-based interdisciplinary artist whose material-led practice explores the bounds of craft through play.
