Helen Rutledge Email and Phone Number
With a discerning eye for beauty and a rich tapestry of experiences, I've carved a niche at the intersection of art, history, and design. As the owner of Bibelot, I bring a world of luxury bespoke lampshades to discerning clients, each piece a testament to my journey through fashion, culinary arts, and historic preservation.My adventure began in Alabama, but my passion for fashion whisked me away to New York, where I honed my creative instincts working alongside the iconic Diane von Furstenberg. My culinary chapter as a Chef unfolded in NYC's vibrant restaurant scene, but it was the historical allure of Charleston that truly captured my heart. Here, I delved deep into the world of arts and preservation as Director of Development for Historic Charleston Foundation, contributing significantly to projects like the Save America's Treasures Grant for the Aiken-Rhett House and spearheading the Charleston International Antiques Show.At Bibelot, founded in 2019, I merge my love for history and design. With a deep appreciation for vintage and mid-century modern lamps, I began noticing a need in the market for replacement lampshades that were either missing or damaged and were difficult to find. I decided to tackle the task by creating custom shades from exquisite fabrics in my store. Drawing inspiration from global textiles I create lampshades that are not just decor but narratives of elegance and individuality.But my journey isn't just about objects; it's about experiences. Our showroom at 680 King Street is an atelier, a sanctuary where creativity and craftsmanship meet. Whether you're an interior designer, a buyer for home decor, or a hospitality group, I'm here to light up your world with bespoke shades that emanate warmth and style. I believe that every space tells a story, and every shade I create adds a sentence to that narrative. I'm not just in the business of lampshades; I'm in the business of bringing visions to light. Experience the artistry of our handcrafted lampshades and adorn your surroundings with elegance, creativity, and a touch of global allure.As a mother to Willa and Lucia, I balance the art of creativity with the beauty of life's moments, continuously inspired and driven by the world around me.Let's connect and illuminate the possibilities together.
