Aurora Pendants with Cherry Laminate. We worked with a lighting designer, architect, and lighting distributor to design these wonderful fixtures using real Cherry wood laminate and dimmable fluorescent light source. Designed for a city's Council Chambers, 31 fixtures total in 3 sizes, the Aurora fixtures provide wonderful mood or accent light when dimmed and functional lighting when fully lit. These fixtures will be available with a choice of wood laminates or fabric. Three sizes: 25.5"; 31"; 39.9".

Cutler-Anderson Architects designed Bainbridge Island's award-winning Grace Episcopal Church to house its congregation and express its values for a domain of grace:
a setting in which the interior and exterior are almost one. Their lighting fixtures are designed to emulate the architecture--simple, straight lines, unencumbered by excessive detail.

VanLumen Architectural Lighting fabricated the architects’ designs to aesthetically allow continuous light to flow over the fixtures' 4 foot length, while also creating a practical space in the bottom to house the church's sound system. The fixtures artfully reflect the architecture, while quality sound flows mysteriously into the interior spaces of the structure.

VanLumen fabricates suspension lights in all sizes, shapes, and fabrics. This custom pendant is made of gathered orange linen with a soft white linen lining. Its diameter is 36" and it was fabricated for a Bainbridge Island home. We have also made similar lights for the GAP stores and for other commercial applications such as hotels, restaurants, and wine bars.

VanLumen took the lighting concept--conceived by a lighting designer emphasizing a combination of Italian glass and American-forged iron--from the design stage to the unique glass and iron creation that you see here.

We are experienced in fabricating with wood, forged steel, stainless steel, glass, and fabrics.

The linear beauty of this fixture complements the multi-colored bottles behind the restaurant's bar. Designed again with blown glass and forged steel in mind, VanLumen guided the artists during the forging stage to guarantee that the finished product would fit the site and display the wonderful Italian glass suspended from the forged frame.

We have created custom suspension fixtures for hotels, churches, and lobbies in condominiums and business centers.
