When you're into old stuff, your motivation often comes from filthy places.

Before its resurrection as the Collins, this fixture's original inspiration sat in our basement, caked in layers of yellow paint and several decades of grime and dust. Upon its discovery, Jim Kelly realized it was the last of about 50 antique lights he'd rescued from some doomed old apartment building back in 1977.

Despite its crusty exterior, the unique beauty of the original motivated us to introduce the Collins and its equally striking family: the Chapman, Spencer, Walton, and Enright.
