Design Inspirations and Applications

Hacienda Dining Room: This 54″ chandelier echoes the drama of historic hacienda dining halls. Six sweeping arms curve outward in elegant, hand-forged scrolls, each ending in a faux-candle socket atop a decorative bobeche inspired by 17th-century Spanish church fixtures.

The rich bronze patina, achieved through a multi-stage chemical aging process, ranges from burnished gold highlights to subtle verdigris tones—replicating metal aged by coastal humidity and sun.

Suspended 30″ above a reclaimed wood banquet table, it casts a warm glow across timber beams, Talavera tile accents, and wrought-iron décor, weaving centuries of craftsmanship into every shared meal.

An oil-rubbed patina blends deep black with copper undertones, accentuating each hammer mark and rivet. Suspended over Saltillo tile floors, it illuminates leather seating, woven wool rugs, and vibrant ceramics.

With UL-rated wiring and energy-efficient LEDs, it replicates the warmth of beeswax candles while ensuring modern safety.

The aged patina combines charcoal black with weathered bronze highlights, mimicking natural oxidation. Hung 14′ above an Otomi rug, it casts pools of light on fluted columns and coffered ceilings.

Paired with potted palms and Talavera pots, it offers both functional illumination and immersive colonial drama.
