Process
What is the process for ordering a custom fixture?

We start off by finding out for which space you intend the fixture, which design you prefer and the desired budget. Then we proceed to making recommendations on the sizes and shapes of canopies, number of pendants, finishes, etc. We then provide a presentation for you with customized drawings and all design particulars. We also include the final quote. After you approve the design, an invoice is issued to you. We begin work on your custom fixture as soon as the invoice is paid.
