Project Brief

All of the designs are hand made and are generate with his imagination. Our designs are perfect for Homes, Bars, Cafes, Restaurants, Hotels and even in schools.

We have a store setup that runs once a month at the Rozelle Markets in Sydney displaying the Lighting designs that we have been built.

The general public are so impressed with the designs and almost every one stops to have a look. It is definitely a head turner and leaves an impression with them.

The fact that they have never been seen before and are built with excellent quality has them talking about it.

Our lighting has such an impact in peoples homes and with our designs it creates such a warm feeling throughout there homes.
When the light switch is turned on it really is something to see.

The Copper reflecting off the Warm White Carbine Filament Globes looks amazing, and the design of the Warm White Carbine Filament Globes makes the whole experience something to see.

Our influence in making these lights is to let your imagination be free to run

Project Innovation/Need

We have innovated lighting with combining Copper Pipe and Plumbing fittings to create Lamp Fixtures like no other.

Design Challenge

The design challenge was to make the Lights safe to be used and comply with the Australian Electrical Standards.

Sustainability

Our Copper Pipe is a material that is sustainable. We found that we don't have to purchase brand new pieces of Copper Pipe and Plumbing Fittings all of the time, we can go to Scrap Metal Yards and find our materials there. So this means we don't only have the option of purchasing brand new Copper Pipe and Plumbing fittings but we also have the option to purchase already use materials from Scrap Metal Yards.
