I was approached by Gary Friedman and his team from restoration Hardware this year to design a group of lights for them. Gary and the team had eaten at Camino restaurant in Oakland CA and liked the lights I had done for them. I ended up designing 11 lights for RH for the fall catalog.
These production lights are beautifully crafted, well designed and very affordable.
If you’re interested in a uniquely designed and crafted light just for you please contact me. jon at formandreform dot com
My custom work is made right here in West Oakland in my shop Form & Reform. Each piece is signed and made to make your space uniquely yours. Here is some of the custom lighting I have done.

I spent last weekend with my friends and family at the California Blacksmith Ass. Oktoberfest. We had a great time talking shop, drinking, eating, sitting by the fire and forging metal. I love this group of people. I’m glad to see as I grow older there is still a place for my daughter to camp and play with a group of people just like when I was a kid. DIY is how you get things done for most of these smiths. Thanks!

I’ve taken the trilobite to Burning Man, Handcar Regatta with lots of kids, but CBA blacksmith’s were by far the most play hard group of all.Andy was our demonstrator for the weekend and put us all to shame with his hard work despite our attempts to calm him with our home brewed concoctions.

This Ceiling fixture gives off wonderful contrasts of light. The optical illusion of floating frames and handmade texture make this fixture both intriguing and beautiful.
This simple single bulb light with a Bakelite socket reminds me of simpler times before we had several thousand watts of light in every room. Turn this light on, sit by the radio with a cup of tea and enjoy it’s warmth before bed.
Hand forged chain take this simple light to a new level.

Our house in North Oakland was built in 1925 just one year after this film. It’s nice to see the houses from then, all brand new, no trees and plenty of power lines. It would be fun to find that house today and do a before and after shot. Let me know if anyone reconizes the street. I can imagine my daughter Zolie in the last shot!
