Custom Handmade Lighting and Home Furnishings
I grew up around people who worked with their hands. My grandfather owned a tool and die shop which eventually evolved in my father's business, Advance Heat Treating Co. in Fairfield, CT. I was always fascinated by the amazing machines they had in the shop, like the Bridgeport Milling Machine, a relic we still have to this day, the hardening furnaces from the 40s that would glow white hot when they were opened, and the massive compressor that was always rumbling away in the background. These men, using these tools were able to provide for 3 generations of our family. They instilled in me an appreciation for quality workmanship and a respect for the time it takes to do something yourself. With that in mind, started this venture to get back to that tradition of earning a living by making something with my own two hands. It has given me an opportunity to focus my creativity, the end product of which is my collection of rustic and industrial lighting and decor, designed and fabricated in my home workshop. I strive to create unique, high-quality lighting and timeless designs.
I'm always working on something so please check back often for new items.
