Custom design and fabrication project: Residential lighting

By integrating all aspects of materials and finishes, the designer, builder, architect or homeowner can realize a complete vision in lighting design. Our project in this Austin suburb is a good demonstration of this.

custom interior and exterior lighting

This project encompassed custom interior and exterior lighting, including

  • a custom copper bathroom mirror frame
  • our custom AWS onyx slab interior wall sconces
  • custom wrought iron and art glass interior wall sconces
  • custom exterior copper and mica wall sconces
  • custom exterior copper and glass post lanterns

natural weathering and patina

These photos were taken at least 16 years after the project was completed, and show how both the iron and copper fixtures have changed and mellowed through natural weathering and patina.

Each AWS onyx piece is cut from a larger slab, and the details of each individual onyx diffuser will vary from piece to piece. These were bookend cuts from the same slab, to make a matched pair.

In The Press… Garden and Gun Magazine

Its always a treat when we find out our hand crafted products hit a major publication. Last summer our custom light fixtures (Wall Sconce model: DJWS) were featured in a Gun & Garden Magazine article about a little known watering hole in our own backyard of Central Texas. These hand crafted (in our local Austin Studio) wall sconces are formed from sheets of Mica and strips of copper to form a conical light fixture.
