Lighting

Carol Hall Chandelier

This unique statement piece consists of a pair of tear drop brackets that cradle the lighting components—pulled glass cane that is embedded with LED strips. The metal brackets can be made in bronze, iron, or steel, with a variety of patinas and finish options. They are hollow to enclose wiring, and mounted invisibly by means of a beam/plate bracket in the ceiling.

 

Cane is typically pulled around a central core of glass, which is available in a full spectrum of colors. Add the variables of colored LEDs and diffusers, dimensions and proportions of the cane/light strip elements, and dimmer controls, and you get infinite possibilities for creating a striking one-of-kind chandelier.

GLOUCESTER PENDANTS

In 2017, we completed two sets of four 25”-long blown pendants for an open-plan dining room with two sides of floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the ocean. Over the months-long process of onsite collaboration with the clients and their architect, the appealing combinations of color and light inside the room and out led to the homeowners’ decision to order a second set of pendants in green, which can be substituted in for the orange vessels when they wish.

WESTON CHANDELIERS

The two multiple-sconce chandeliers and the hanging billiard room fixture for this new-construction residence resulted from close collaboration between RAS and two companies—millworkers and metal fabricators.

NAPA PENDANTS

One of the first large-fixture lighting projects we took on, early in the company’s second decade, was the fabrication of a set of 30” hanging pendants for a Napa residence. The glass was hand-blown in the Bay area, shipped back to Boston to be cold-worked, packed up and shipped back to the West Coast for installation.

MOODY STREET PENDANTS

The Moody Street Deli and Backroom is one of a handful of restaurants that have made the center of Waltham, a small city/suburb about 11 miles north-west of Boston, a destination for foodies looking for world-class dining experiences. We fabricated two series of hanging pendants for their dining rooms and, in the process, learned about the aesthetics and psychology at the intersection of light, color and food.

ARC LIGHT

This project bridged the lighting and commemoratives categories, with a desk lamp reproducing the corporate logo of ArcLight Capital Partners.
