Stuart Fingerhut was a Marketing major who saw the light after three years and changed schools to study design. Last year he graduated from Art Center, where he now works part-time as an assistant teacher when he’s not thickening his portfolio (and man is it thick — covering furniture, lighting, housewares, jewelry, environments, and more).

Kinema Pendant Luminaire enables the user to regulate the light’s “character” by means of beautifully curved louvers which intersect like space-age Venetian blinds; when it’s not in use it can be closed up like an armadillo, though “crustaceans” is the inspiration Fingerhut lists on his site.
