Fine Art Lamps at Renfro Interiors
Lamps and objects to contain light sources are among the earliest design efforts, meeting a universal need with the human instinct to beautify and decorate. Every age from prehistoric times has left behind its decorative lamps, torchieres, or lanterns made to burn oil, wood, or wax, usually the work of individual craftsmen working in clay, metal, glass, or stone. When our company started, the name Fine Art Lamps was chosen to highlight a dedication to lighting design as an art form and an ancient tradition that would again be practiced by creative designers, artisans, and craftsmen.
Max Blumberg began his glass-making factory in the late 19th century, and by 1940 his son Jack founded Fine Art Lamps. He endeavored to gather the finest designers, sculptors, artisans, and decorative artists, many of whose talents had roots in the ancient crafts of Italy where they were born. From the beginning, Fine Art Lamps has been a design leader, creating true works of art – innovative designs, beautifully crafted forms of metal, glass, and unique materials with exquisite finishes. In the process, the company developed an artistic standard that has come to symbolize the Fine Lamps name today.
Since 1965 Jack’s son Max has carried on the commitment of his grandfather and father to design excellence and superb workmanship. In 1976, the company moved to Miami and expanded to a state-of-the-art 300,000 square foot facility. Fine Art Lamps is proud of its pledge to manufacture in the United States of America, based on the belief that this insures design integrity, quality control, reliable delivery, and personal service. Today there are Fine Art Lamps galleries in over seventy countries around the globe.
Fine Art Lamps has been honored with numerous design awards, including the prestigious ARTS® Manufacturer of the Year Award an unprecedented nine times, and the company was the first to be inducted into the ARTS® Hall of Fame. Our unique designs are copyrighted and protected by several patents. Today our devoted team of in-house design and development specialists continue to explore new concepts. But the past is always present: Fine Art Lamps’ collections from the 1940s and 50s have been shown around the country in museum retrospectives of the best decorative products of the era, and all our new designs continue to uphold the company’s original mission.
