I enjoy working closely with designer professionals, contractors and home owners. On our web site, there are downloadable product cut-sheets that provide design specifications for each of our lamps and luminaries as well as examples of our custom screens and dividers. All of our designs can be customized, or, if you prefer, we can design and create lamps, luminaries, screens, wall hangings and dividers to your specifications. For pricing information and price quotes, please call me.

Respecting and preserving the environment has been one of my primary guiding principles for over ten years. As our contribution to “thinking green,” we use organic, recyclable, natural materials to transform residential and commercial settings. Lots of our weaving materials are sustainably harvested materials and we use handmade paper.

We use environmentally conscientious manufacturing processes, high levels of recyclable natural materials, water-based finishes and adhesives, and natural patinas. We pack our fixtures in reused packing materials and encourage our customers to continue to reuse or recycle the packaging they receive from us. All of our creations are recyclable.
