ARTISAN SPOTLIGHT
results in an exquisite work of art. Urban
Electric trains its own artisans and the
masters oversee apprentices, ensuring
that they use only the finest materials.
It was such a treat to see first-hand how
the artisans at this renowned Charleston company work with such passion.
Urban Electric offers an extensive collection of nearly 300 interior and exterior fixtures, as well as one of the most
extensive custom programs in the lighting industry. The effort that goes into
each fixture is extraordinary —lasering
the initial pieces out of large sheets,
breaking the angles to make them fit,
welding each piece together, dipping
in acid to create the right finish, and
powder coating with fabulous colors.
Take a few moments to watch the
videos that feature behind-the-scenes
interviews with the unique individuals
that make up this world-class team.
Complete with blooper reels, our cameras capture the talents, personalities and
backgrounds of this eclectic group. n
