History

Established in 1987.

In 2014, we will have been in business for 27 years. After all of this time, our concept of quality has grown beyond the scope of our lighting. High standards become important not just for the product but in all the relationships we enjoy. This is true of our colleagues within the company, as well as our family of customers and community. In our sunny studio, located in a historic New England mill building, our small group of highly-​trained artisans collectively hand-​make each piece individually with lots of discussion and a good, old-​fashioned work ethic.

As we and the company evolve, even in the face of the growing number of import products, the idea of providing among the best made in the USA lighting and home décor products still comprises the backbone of our studio. Our goal is a consistency of handmade quality and distinctiveness virtually lost in much of today’s manufacturing.

Meet the Business Owner

Janna U.

Business Owner

While in a successful home store in the city, I looked up and saw a run-​of-​the-​mill sconce and it clicked: Lighting. Beautiful lighting. Creative, livable lighting that performs its function, but offers up all parts as an opportunity for beauty. Detailed or simple. Uniquely narrative or historically classic. Painterly and sculptural. Finally, a home for jewelry-​like metalwork and handpainted composition. It was one of those moments in life where everything and everywhere I’d been made sense.

My line is now represented by over 250 galleries, designers, and lighting studios. Many of the same galleries that bought my work at my first New York show in 1987 still represent my work. Since 1991, I have and continue to design and produce exclusive work for wonderful companies such as the Sundance catalog. Producing custom lighting and related products for the designer and architect markets has been integral to our studio and always offers the opportunity to keep our work fresh.
