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.

This is a huge light! 8 feet 8 inches wide and almost 100 lights! The challenge was to make it look simple and clean and hide all the wiring. Really a wonderful space and this light ties it all together.

A friend of mine Jason gave me some vintage glass he found under some trees he was cutting down this summer. This guy had stored the contents of a east coast lighting company from the turn of the last century in an open feild 20+ years ago. Most of the steel from the gas lamps, and indoor fixtures had rusted away, but the brass and glass survived. I had to soak these shades in vinegar to get the news print they were wrapped in from the 1930’s off. Great ads! Next time I go up there I’m going to spend more time looking though what he saved.
These were made for my wife Kyrsten’s birthday. It only took me 10 years to finally hang lights in our bathroom.
Frosted scallops on the glass shade.
Hammer texture details
Rivets to hold the forged steel layers together of the wall sconce.
This is a custom light I did for a hotel lobby in Colorado. It was fun to play with old blacksmith styles and new water jet parts mixed in the same piece. The line voltage halogens eliminated the need for a heavy transformers and the light was even, pleasant and using a dimer made various moods possible with a turn or a click of the switch. It’s 5 feet across, 24″ high and 700 watts.

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.

In 1987 I founded Form & Reform a hand-forged furniture and accessories blacksmith shop. Steel, fire, glass, wood, and a passion for craft and excellence infuse every item we make. From the heat of the forges to the cool precision of our artisans, we endeavor to produce furniture of a quality that you would be proud to bequest to your children, and will last long enough to make the journey.
The mythological god Pan, a playful and mischievous character, had the torso of a man and the legs of a goat. The graceful and playful lines of these table legs made us think of him immediately. We use hammer and anvil to forge steel into these life like leg shapes, combine them with textured bar, and top them with 3/8” glass. Why not bring a touch of myth and mischief into your life?
A little old-fashioned with plenty of style, the Vera tables and shelves serve as great display pieces in groups or individually. The solid 3/4″ thick, ecologically sustainable, plantation-raised hardwood tops are a natural Cherry color and coated with a durable polyurethane specially created for restaurant use. You can find two of our popular shelving units, the Oval Shelf and Stand, in the Vera line as well as tables.
Take a moment to explore our product line, custom metal work I have made, and lighting we have done for homes and restaurants. If your interested please contact me for a quote, or to purchase one of my products directly.
