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!

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!

For Kim's DeskMy 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!

For Personalized Metal Art Coat RackThe project was a great experience. The artist was professional and tuned-in immediately to my idea. The piece is exactly what I was looking for. Unfortunately, despite being carefully packaged, it arrived with a piece broken off.
