Artist's Rendering
These 7' tall light fixtures were built to replicate turn of the century Louis Sullivan electroliers that were lost to time. Each are made up of 29 individual castings on a steel framework. Each weigh approximately 1/4 ton and were wired for 26 hand blown carbon filament bulbs.

Material - Guilded cast iron

Designed by - Louis Sullivan (org. circa 1900)

The turn of the century photos were interpreted in a joint effort between Booth Hansen Associates,
Custom Metals, Conrad Schmitt Studios, and Roosevelt University.
