But to professionals who make their living creating unique environments, lighting is much more than that.

Tell us who you work with:

We specialize in design for the hospitality industry and residential market, and work directly with architects, and lighting and interior designers for restaurants, hotels, casinos, corporate facilities and high-end residential projects.

(Firm name TBD)

As a client, tell us about your experience working with La Stella:

I first became aware of the beauty of fused glass when I saw a La Stella Lighting chandelier hanging in a local glass art gallery.

So when I decided to design a unique fused glass chandelier for my home, this is the company I turned to.

Working with Giuliana and Stephen, we improved and refined my original design, and when the chandelier was complete, I was thrilled with the results -- an object of utility, beauty, and mystery. This chandelier is a wonderful addition to my home.

I would highly recommend La Stella to any design professional looking for dramatic and innovative lighting solutions.
