Great service

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!

Susan Evans
For Susan's Sculpture
Excellent craftsmanship and partnership!
Steven Parmelee
For Steven's End Table
I 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!
Ahmed Fuad
For Ahmed's Sconce Light
I am beyond happy and satisfied with Douglas creativeness, professionalism, and superb communication. He was always there and listening to how I wanted my custom sconces to look like. He’s work is beyond impressive and I am so glad I got to work with him on this project. I’d definitely work with him again for any future needs and will absolutely recommend him to friends and family.

This was my first experience with a Custom made piece and I couldn’t be more pleased! Doug was great to work !
Anne Coates
For Personalized Metal Art Coat Rack
The 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.
