Fifi Laughlin
Dealing with both fine art and functional art is not new to Laughlin. Her father is artist Tony Benjamin and in
1987, her family partnered with artist and designer Mario Villa to open the Mario Villa Gallery in Chicago,
which featured the work of Villa and other notable locals including Allison Stewart, Mitchell Gaudet, Angele
Parlange, Maurice Alvarado and Winifred Ross. "I love fine art, but the gallery specialized in functional art,"
says Laughlin, who ran the space for nine years, working closely with Villa to design custom pieces for clients.
Since then, Laughlin also has worked as an interior decorator.

Today she deals in fine arts, representing such artists as George Marks of Baton Rouge and her father, and
she has begun to create functional art of her own. "I've pulled together all those different experiences of art
and furniture," she says of her foray into lamp design. "Interesting lamps are hard to find. You can find
antique pieces like architectural ornaments and porcelain jars, but new pieces are difficult to find."

Designed with technical input from glass artist Mitchell Gaudet of Studio Inferno and made by a team of
Studio Inferno artisans, Laughin's lamps come in a variety of styles and sizes. Each base is sand-cast in order
to have the "crusty" unearthed look of an ancient artifact. The feet and finials are hand-worked or
hand-blown. The stems, available in translucent tones of cranberry, red, sapphire, chartreuse, amber tortoise
shell amber, pewter metallic, and clear, are hand-blown,  making each a one-of-a-kind.
