The popular bar Rustico Ristorante in Oak Park, California needed an update. The restaurateurs called upon local lighting artist Timothy J. Ferrie for something new and unique for their space. Tim, a former contractor and the artist behind Lightsculptures took one look and knew what he was going to do. He used the existing wiring from existing can lights above the bar and created a gorgeous 12-foot, one-piece chandelier. Copper tubing sweeps and turns in curvilinear shapes along the length of the bar creating a stunning chandelier which is now a highlight of the restaurant. Tim says, “I try to combine the functionality of light with the intrinsic qualities of art to create something that does more than light a room, it gives that room something to say.” Tim creates custom chandeliers, floor lights, table lights and sconces in his studio in Westlake Village, CA.
