Be inspired! New Lighting Project.

When interior designer, Althea Bussert came to see us, she had a very specific idea in mind for the chandelier needed for the front courtyard of her client's gorgeous hacienda style home in Chandler.


The decorative detail in the entryway's gate has a Moorish style pattern in the iron fretwork. She wanted to incorporate the same detail into the lighting fixture's banding. We think it turned out beautifully. We love collaborating with our clients!


Meanwhile, all of the lanterns throughout the property are also from Pentimento! We personalized the lanterns with a fleur-de-lis finial at the top of each. As the project progressed, two more lanterns were needed as the finishing touch at the front entry. We delivered everything on time and in her budget!


Althea, who worked with us on other projects years ago, was a delight to work with. We are so happy she came back to us again!

It's always exciting to see what the factory is making for the day.  Here are a few snapshots of what we discovered this morning.




It's a little hard to see in the photo but this lantern measures 30" high by 20" wide.  Wow, what a hefty guy this is.



 Here is it's sidekick at 18" high by 12 1/2" wide.


Come take a walk with us through our factory to see what you can discover!

From concept to completion...personalized!


Our client came to us with her architect wanting outdoor lanterns for her new custom home. She had a vision of "Santa Barbara style".

We listened...



We sketched...


We designed...



We shared several collaboration sessions while discussing the many details of the project. This was the winning design.



And as a final personal touch we created custom, initialed, embossed medallions for the backplates of the lanterns at the home's entry.






A unique stamp on this very beautiful home. Here's the entry.


The lantern design was used throughout the property.







We so enjoyed working together with everyone on this project! The experience was truly one of collaboration - creating exactly what the client wanted while being mindful of the project's budget. We also designed and fabricated many more details for the home: iron chandeliers for the living room and the kitchen; iron sconces; iron railings, inside and out; iron window guards and iron gates. As the single source for all of the iron and lighting products, we helped the client by not only coordinating those details, but also by creating a very cohesive aesthetic throughout the property. Stay tuned to our blog. We will definitely be showing more pics of this lovely home in the near future.
