Job:
Interior Architectural Commission

February 2005
Site:
Coraopolis, PA
Overview:
The client was looking for an original light fixture to occupy the large formal
dining room in their country estate. As the windows looked out to two large rhododendron bushes,
we thought that a rhododendron light fixture would be appropriate.
The chandelier is made of forged tube and the bulb fixtures incorporate
four different sizes of custom forged leaves. The leaves are hot brass burnished
and the branches are black patinated. The whole fixture has been coated with
proprietary beeswax/linseed oil mixture to prevent oxidization.
