Playful And Elegant Custom Chandeliers
I make one of a kind chandeliers and other lighting fixtures based on customer interests and style. A chandelier will typically incorporate found, upcycled, and new materials, as well as hand-made sculptural and painted elements. Sound and motion, programmed color fading routines, and home automation system integration are all possible. Let's make something beautiful!

Meet the Maker
Douglas Repetto
Mildly Happy
Hello, I’m Douglas Repetto, an artist and designer based in Memphis, Tennessee. For many years I taught electronic art, music, and sculpture at Columbia University in New York City, where I was the founding director of the Sound Arts MFA program. I work with diverse materials and processes to make one of a kind functional (usually!) objects (lamps, furniture), clothing, and accessories, as well as commissioned work like custom electronic devices, chandeliers, bespoke wooden cases, and engravings.
I combine traditional techniques for working with wood, metals, textiles, and concrete with modern wonders like computer controlled tools, home automation, and tiny embedded computers. I often work with found or recycled materials, and the environmental and social impact of what I make and how I make it is always on my mind.
I’m happy to talk with you about design and fabrication jobs of any size, from a simple plaque to an automatonic chandelier!

Apr 13, 2019My custom desk top arrived today and I could not be happier. Highly recommend Douglas for any wood working project. He did an amazing job matching my existing furniture (from pictures alone). And he stayed in regular communication with me from day 1, frequently sharing pictures and status of my desk as it was being built. He completed the project in the timeline promised as well. Like I said, could not be happier and I would not hesitate to order from Douglas again!

Mar 3, 2019I was looking for a specific type of sign; couldn't find it anywhere so I inquired via Marketplace. Doug responded immediately and asked me to send him more detail surrounding my idea. Doug created exactly what I was seeking. His communication was thorough and he sent pictures to ensure that his idea aligned with mine throughout creation. Turnaround was quick and my product arrived within a week of our initial contact. I love it!

May 25, 2019I am extremely pleased with the end table that Douglas created for me. He took my basic idea and crafted a beautiful piece of furniture. Douglas was very responsive, timely, professional, and fair. He sent me pictures along the way and I couldn't be happier with the results. I would definitely work with him again!
