These light fixtures were rewired and modified for a residence in Montauk. The light fixtures consisted of one set of antique cast bronze with cast glass Pexto ship-lights and  one set of sheet brass with a polycarbonate lens. The fixtures were tested in underwriters laboratory for exterior use. The fixtures were left unfinished so that they would patina naturally.

Oaxaca Restaurant needed brackets to hold up a banquette in their establishment. The brackets were constructed out of 2″ x 2″ square steel tube and painted black for the finish. Sometimes its nice to make simple things.

The fuel for the fire has to be stored somewhere. These two 9′ tall x 10′ wide racks should do the job. Fabricated out of 3/8″ blackened steel plate, these racks can hold enough wood to incinerate just about anything.

In the never ending battle to provide differentiated food in New York City, Top Chef’s Tom Colicchio is certainly victorious. His new establishment, Colicchio and Sons, offers an assorted menu that ranges from braised rabbit leg with cheddar grits, poached egg, and soffrito to potatoes in a sawtooth ale broth. One way for Colicchio to compliment his eclectic methods of preparing proteins and starches is to add a wood-burning oven. We were responsible for fabricating and installing the paneling that surrounds the oven’s hood-vent. The paneling was fabricated out of 10′ x 3/8′ steel plate and are an impressive 9″ tall by 5″ wide. The fiery orange glow around the outside is a combination of interior lighting and pressed mica panelite. The installation was completed in only one day but will be provide Colicchio and Son’s with an aesthetic appeal for a long time to come.
