Launch of a Bi-coastal Lighting Business
Susan and Caryn Kinzig are sisters-in-law
who live on opposite coasts. Susan, a jeweler, lives in San Francisco,
Calif., and Caryn (who recently left a career in finance) lives
outside Philadelphia, Pa. But distance didn’t stop them
from starting a business making unique lamps that incorporate
intricate metalwork, hand-blown glass and handmade shades from
fine silks and other materials. Starting just about a year ago,
the pair has worked hard to fine-tune their product while getting
a warm reception from buyers around the country.
