Meet Blueprint Lighting

January 14, 2020
  • Share

Meet Blueprint Lighting – A relatively young lighting company founded by chief luminary Kelly Aaron. This incredible company was created as the need for Kelly’s mid-century vintage pieces grew. She figured out how to meet the demand by creating her own light fixtures inspired by mid-century pieces. I love hearing about female-founded creative companies and I can’t wait to share more about Blueprint Luminary. Best of all if you Love Kelly as much am I do – Blueprint Lighinting was kind enough to offer COCOCOZY readers 35% off their order of any size with the code COCO35.

This incredible light company creates light fixtures few could dream up on their own. From ceiling fixtures to wall lamps/sconces and pendants/flush mounts Blueprint Luminary has a solution for all of your lighting needs. I have been eyeing the brand since pretty much the beginning. The range of styles is incredible and the designs themselves are unbeatable. They are modern, unique, and infinitely chic. The best part? They can create custom pieces with only a 3 week lead time. Kelly noticed there was a white space in the market for custom lighting with fast turnaround times and they were used to helping clients with rush orders – it was the perfect solution.

Meet Kelly Aaron

Kelly from Blueprint Lighting is incredibly lovely and answered a handful of questions for me! Learn more from the visionary herself!

How do you manage to work with such short lead times? 

“We have a team of little elves that work through the night, of course!  In reality, we keep tons of our custom made, spun metal shades on hand, along with stock of our 36 in-house enamels so that we can get pieces into production as soon as we take the order. Fully custom projects take longer, naturally, but anything you see on our website can be fabricated in a few weeks!”

What’s it like working with your son?

 I was turning 21 when my oldest child, Zoe, was born, so in a sense, we grew up together. Consequently, he has always been one of my greatest teachers. It’s nice to have him in the office with my every day–I get to know him in a completely new light. And I have had a fantastic time teaching him to be a salesperson; giving him tips and tricks that I have learned along the way. Our company is based on personal relationships with our clients and he is brilliant with his customers. I love getting compliments from his customers–they have NO idea I am his mother when they tell me what a “nice young man” he is! LOVE IT!

What is your favorite design currently available on your site?

“Counterbalance is by far my favorite ceiling fixture and consistently a best seller for us. The list of designers that have placed Counterbalance in projects reads like the AD100!

Our new 3 piece capsule line, TULLE, is my favorite for wall-mounted fixtures–the line is my design nod to Mathieu Mategot. Back in the late 1990s, my fascination with Mategot, who was still a relatively under-sung mid-century designer, took root. I long toyed with the idea of paying homage to Mategot’s innovative “Rigitulle” material, bringing his ideas and aesthetic into the 21st century and breathing new life into his signature medium, and I think we’ve done it!”

Have you always had an interest in interiors + lighting? How has it evolved over the years?

“I opened my first midcentury modern design store, Orbit, in 1999 in the progressive little hamlet of Asheville, NC. I became a respected young voice in mid-century design, studio pottery and modern craft; guest-curating museum exhibitions, contributing to arts texts and giving gallery talks. I was approaching design from an academic standpoint and only buying and selling pieces based on their provenance; if it wasn’t made by a well-known designer/maker, I wanted nothing to do with it. Over the years, my view shifted, I matured a bit, and I began seeing objects in a more aesthetic light. Had it not been for that personal evolution, this company would have never been born.”

What’s something you wish the world knew about Blueprint Lighting?

“The answer is always “YES”!! We rarely say no to anything our clients dream up. And also, we are just really fun to work with!”

Keep it simple. No need for bells and whistles an Keep it simple.  No need for bells and whistles and fancy things to make your house a home.  In this picture, a plant, two chairs I found at the flea market, a layered rug situation and some modern art...de-cluttered space can be equally as inviting as one filled with memories and treasures.  If you are stuck with how to decorate, I say keep it simple.  Purge and start with the basics.  Full disclosure, this is a shot of my living room from a few years ago when I first moved in...I didn’t even have drapes up when this was taken.  I have since added pieces and changed out furniture and added a 2nd sofa...but it started super simple and it was lovely back then.  When the world is swirling around us and making no sense, how are you keeping things simple at home?  #socococozy #bringstylehome #cococozy
Pre-pandemic throw back photo to where I was last Pre-pandemic throw back photo to where I was last year.  Clueless as to what was to come.  Was in Paris, with my mom, enjoying her summer apartment in the middle of the 6th arrondissement.  I had just left the U.K. visiting friends for a few days in London and the Cotswolds.  None of us knew that this summer 2020 would be so different.  Today, I can only hope this time of tumult and great divides leads somehow to a future of calm and harmony.  Going backwards in time is not an option.  Pushing forward is.  Happy Sunday to you.  Where were you last summer?  Where do you imagine you’ll be next? Xoxo #socococozy #bringstylehome
Incredible living room before and after as designe Incredible living room before and after as designed by my good friend Steve Jones @bettershelter!  I went on a tour today.  I also went on a tour a year ago when he first got the house.  See my stories. Swipe to see what this room looked like before.  Life lesson from a room transformation:  When faced with the daunting and not so pretty, look to do the work, and you can make changes to bring  out what is good.  Right?  This home by the way is going on the market soon and is in one of my favorite parts of town, View Park.  What changes have you made lately that have turned bad into good? #socococozy #bringstylehome #remodeling #homerenovation #californiadreaming
“Be patient with yourself it has been a funky fe “Be patient with yourself it has been a funky few months in the world.” My friend Manon texted this advice to me today.  She is right.  A little patience and a lot of kindness to yourself and to others during these unusual times will go a long way.
***
Am in my living room right now looking at these pretty flowers in that white urn I found lying around.  The urn works (see Flower Power highlights for backstory). Thinking on who I might send one of these bouquets to today as a little act of kindness.  Still working on the patience piece of her advice! 🤪 Who might you send flowers to?  How can you be more patient with yourself? Happy Saturday!

Hi! Finally something to smile about! 😂 Exciti Hi!  Finally something to smile about! 😂 Exciting flower news today as I debut the first ever COCOCOZY designed bouquet in my latest partnership! Tada.  Here is The Classic by COCOCOZY exclusively on @ftdflowers + @proflowers as part of their #herestoher initiative!  Swipe left to see it up close.  I wanted to design a super lush classically beautiful bouquet that would look good in any home during the fall/winter.  Roses, eucalyptus and so much more in soft whites and greens.  I am so happy with the final product.  What’s great is that this hand tied bouquet comes in a box straight to your door and you can put it in any vase.  If you swipe left you can see it in my breakfast room.  Perfect for sending as a birthday gift, celebration, expression of love or friendship, a business gift, a thank you to someone or I recommend ordering for yourself every couple of weeks to cheer up your space as we stay at home more!  I plan on getting them weekly!  Anyhoooo...I’m linking to the bouquet in my profile.  Have you ever ordered flowers for yourself just because?  Who might you send these to?  #socococozy #bringstylehome #cococozy
