Made to Order, Custom and Vintage Lighting Company

Remains Lighting Company has served the interior design and architecture communities for decades with its expert sourcing, design, and fabrication of heirloom-quality lighting fixtures.

Founded by David Calligeros in 1996, Remains has grown from an off-the-beaten-path antique resource to a world-class maker of high-end artisanal lighting. Inspired by the beauty of classical architecture and driven by a passion for antique metalwork, David honed his craft by hunting down, researching, and meticulously restoring vintage pieces. The impeccable quality of our company's made-to-order and custom lighting fixtures springs from this deep experience in traditional workmanship. Every fixture is conceived of and handcrafted by lighting designers, engineers, and artisans in our 25,000 square-foot, LEED Gold-certified Brooklyn factory, from a mindset of both preservation and innovation.

Our passion for creative collaboration, thoughtful design, sustainable manufacturing, and meticulous craft creates luxury lighting solutions for those who desire enduring beauty.

As a custom lighting company, we tailor our wide range of high-end fixtures to the needs of designers, architects, and homeowners. Given the breadth of styles in our lighting collections—from traditional to contemporary—we are poised to enhance the beauty and comfort of country retreats and sleek, modern penthouses alike.

Committed to Thoughtful Design

The fruits of collaboration with visionary designers complement the proprietary designs in our range. All light fixtures share a commitment to quality and are handmade in the USA.
