Luxe and unusual, Collura & Co. lighting fixtures meld sleek modernism with the exceptional handcraft and couture sensibilities of fine jewelry. Featured materials include hand-blown glass, cast bronze, precision machined brass, exotic hardwoods, exclusive fabrics and a complete range of decorative metal finishes including silver, 24 kt gold and bronze. Fine art from the studio consists of original works on paper and mixed-media paintings on canvas. Singular in vision and execution, these pieces graphically explore the magic of simple experiences with natural phenomena - both real and imagined. Quietly celebrating the eternity we share with nature’s presence is their ultimate purpose. Denis Collura graduated from Duke University with degrees in Art History and Economics. His work encompasses the fields of painting, applied decorative arts and jewelry design. In 2003 he founded Collura & Co., Inc. with the mission to create expertly crafted lighting fixtures that artfully resist categorization. The studio's celebrated collections have been featured at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair, the Architectural Digest Home Design Show, the Kips Bay Designer Showhouse, the Hampton Designer Showhouse and numerous interior design and architectural periodicals.
