Welcome To
The CopperCabin Lighting Company

COMPANY PROFILE :

CopperCabin Lighting has its humble beginnings in 1997 when the owners were building a log cabin. Without much experience in lighting design, they started to review the options. The choices ranged from cheap imports to custom made reproductions of period fixtures. The design had to enhance the rustic style of the cabin and withstand the harsh environments of the Pacific Northwest. The Project Wife opted for the custom made at $300.00 each in a set of four. The Project Husband exclaimed “Whoa! That IS a lot of money…. I can make something better and spend the savings on a new boat”. She was skeptical – he was confident.

With an idea, simple sketch, a few tools, and a sheet of galvanized metal he produced a mock-up which was reluctantly approved with comments by the Project Wife (Comments: I hope this will look better in copper, and how much is the boat going to cost?). The set of four was then constructed from solid copper sheet. Although these first lights were simple and somewhat crude in workmanship, he made them and they looked great on the cabin. She liked them, too, he bought the boat, and they lived happily ever after.

This early success led to new designs, consignment sales through a local reproduction lighting store, and improvements in tooling, technique and workmanship, to the point where the company had the capability to produce consistent quality and value unequaled by other custom light makers.

CopperCabin’s unique designs compliment the rugged good looks of building construction in wood, log, timber and stone - even when the electricity is turned OFF.
