Baker Light

I took the Gioia light fixture and made it even simpler. The wires are in each tube and with the single loop bulb it’s a clean ring of light.

 

 Bridge Fixture

The Bridge Light came from the inspiration of local bay area bridges. Very functional joints and attachment points with a playful swirl of lights in the center. this light is 36″ wide.

 

I. P. Frink Mirror Fixture

I.P. Frink made lights at the dawn of the electrical age. I love this era of functionality and design. This light makes a wonderful focal point of light in the room and the reflected patterns from the bulbs are over the top beautiful. The patterns in these pictures are from changing only the center bulb!

 

Spider Fixture for 8

The Spider light fixture came out of my fascination of vintage industrial lighting. I have a 1920′s single arm version of this over my lathe in the shop and I thought wouldn’t be wonderful if each person setting at the dinning table could adjust the lighting to suit their needs. Here is where that thought took me. Lighting for 8.
