Santa Fe Lights
are designed by ceramic artists Frank Willett and Louise Baldinger
and have been produced in their studio in Santa Fe for over 25 years.
Between them they bring over fifty years of combined experience
as designer-craftspeople, producing light fixtures that reflect
their concern with function, graceful and understated form, and
quality craftsmenship.
Santa Fe Lights
are designed to coordinate with and enchance the typical Southwestern
Pueblo and Territorial architectural styles. The graceful simplicity
of these fixtures lends itself equally well to varied contemporary
styles of architecture.

The natural
stoneware clay surface reflects the handmade feel of adobe. The
indirect light cast from these fixtures is soft and subtle, accented
by the patterned light from the pierced holes used as a border treatement.
Santa Fe Lights
have been used by some of the Southwest's most prominent architects
and builders and are found on numerous public and private buildings
and homes throughout the region and the rest of the country.

Fe Lights are made of high-fired stoneware clay, and unlike Terra
Cotta, are vitreous and impervious to harsh weather conditions. They
will withstand freezing temperatures, snow, rain, and wind. Our stoneware
clay produces a tough, sturdy fixture that resists breakage and will
not fade in bright sunlight. Santa Fe Lights are appropriate for either
indoor or outdoor application. |

Santa Fe Lights
are UL listed and fitted with the best quality electrical components
available. All fixtures are designed to mount on standard electrical
boxes. Mounting hardware and installation instructions are included
with each light. |
Santa Fe Lights
are available in two natural clay colors, Adobe tan and Off-white.
Variations in color and surface are inherent in the handmade process
and enhance the character of each piece. If a close color match
is desired, the fired clay surface lends itself easily to a stucco
coat or to paint. We recommend a good quality outdoor latex paint.
