Weare theSchneiders,Thomas,my sonTimandmywifeBettina.Wewereborn just tenminutes away fromour companyheadquarters. We have never actually traveled far, but our handmade lights have. In 1990, I turned my predestination into a profession. I bought furniture and lights in half of Europe, mainly from the Art Deco period. My team and I painstakingly restored them and initially only sold them in Germany. By 1995/96, we were getting more and more inquiries, especially from customers who were looking for unusual lamps. The demand could hardly be met, so we produced special lights on request. Today we sell our luminaires worldwide, for example we produce exclusive luminaires for some of the brand stores of the watch company IWC Schaffhausen and the royal houses in Bahrain and Morocco. Our lamps can also be seen in the films The Aviator (2004) and The Wolf of Wall Street (2013) starring Leonardo DiCaprio. Many interesting commissions, such as the Hotel Claridges in London, Imperial Hotel New Delhi, Park Hotel Bremen, Nobel Restaurant, sixty of them in number, all house our lamps today.We are always able to produce special custom-made products in various styles. Please contact us if you have any special requests. Exclusive Lighting and more...
