Awesome chandeliers (that I would never be able to afford). The owners are nice and obviously really talented. I would recommend stopping by if you’re in the area. Every piece is unique and I love how they take recycled items/​junk and turn them into masterpieces. Seriously, the gallery and the art are incredible and give off a great vibe.

Brilliant, brilliant, BRILLIANT! Incredible work, especially the elaborate light fixtures. Great art space.

I get giddy everytime I’m about to enter this space. Have you ever felt that way about a gallery?! Way to support up and coming artists as well as big shot heavy hitters. I’m always fascinated on how galleries stay in business and these guys make it look easy! Go and support the arts!

Great art gallery and design space. The lovely and talented people here have transformed commercial spaces, restaurants, and private residences with unique and instantly recognizable sculptural lighting all over the city. Wherever I see them, oh I covet.

This is my favorite art gallery in the entire city. Warren and RJ have created a visual wonderland that manages to feel both exotic and welcoming at the same time. Lounge on some of RJ’s custom furniture with a glass of wine on First Friday and admire amazing light sculptures by Warren (who has absolutely earned the appellation of luminary) or works by other artist friends. Or, tour the workshop and see where the magic happens. If you’re not lucky enough to catch the gallery when it’s open, stroll by at night and peek in the window. Works such as Pogo’s Charm Bracelet (a floor-​to-​ceiling rainbow riot of lights) will thrill even from a distance.

According to this weeks Ice Pack in City Paper, BahdeeBadu has been closed for a bit due to a fire which is kind of sad to hear. But fortunately it also revealed that they’re getting ready to relocate to a much larger space, and I’m psyched to hear this because I love what they’ve done with the layout as it is and can only imagine what great things are going to be added in.
BahdeeBadu is exactly what I want the interior design of my house to look like if I ever get obscenely rich. It’s big time trash posh! The most impressive design piece they have are all of the incredible chandeliers that are made out of bike parts, tools, and all kinds of scattered items. all kinds of delectable pop art adorn the walls, there’s a beautiful grand piano, comfy leather couches, a tucked away mini bar, and plenty of containers serving snacks that are more designer than edible (marshmallow peeps, candy corn, oddly shaped pretzels). They even have a tubby black cat walking around that loves to be pet.
By far my favorite part about here though are all of the elaborate sculptures that have been mentioned before. the first thing you will notice outside is a deer statue that has bright orange lights.
