Elemental Lighting
Copper Chandelier
A copper chandelier makes a personal design statement. Warming up the winter chill, or lighting a summer patio, the textured copper of this light boldly expresses nature at her best. Steel accents give the light a powerful presence.
Mike designed the pendants of this light with his signature “Leather Textured Copper”. He finished the steel bars with an angle cut and filled them with copper, therefore creating a unique emphasis.
This piece challenged Mike. It demanded new skills and innovation. That combination is good for the creative muscles.
Copper Chandelier with Steel Accents
Copper Chandelier for Outdoor Kitchen
Mike made the chandelier for a client’s outdoor kitchen. The light emanated from copper gives a warm glow. The crisp black of the steel contrasts the reds and golds of the warm copper. I can picture the celebrations to be held under this 4 piece beauty.
Each piece is hand textured. Each piece is carefully fitted together. The look is stunning and classic. Simple lines give the light an open feeling while the look of leather brings the fixture back to its earthy focus.
Outdoor lighting is so much more than jelly jars and barn lights today. Copper expresses an earthiness because of its elemental connection. Experienced hands create a statement piece that will give pleasure for years to come.
