About this piece
The Uptown Collection is a celebration of rhythm, nostalgia, and American craftsmanship. Inspired by the radiant glow of early 20th-century theater marquee lights and the improvisational energy of jazz, this pendant series channels the spirit of a bygone era—one of illuminated boulevards and smoky clubs alive with music and movement.
Designed by Grant Chappelle and crafted in the United States, each piece embodies a commitment to both artistry and quality. A ring of exposed or softly diffused light outlines the bold circular form, echoing the iconic signage of vintage theaters while offering a refined, contemporary presence.
With Uptown, Chappelle reinterprets a classic American motif through the lens of industrial design—infusing his signature blend of geometry, light, and mood into a timeless fixture that speaks to memory, place, and performance.
