Bespoke Lighting
Proudly made in the United States

In 2007, I founded Patrick Thomas Lighting Design as a dedicated resource for interior designers, architects, and trade professionals seeking bespoke custom lighting.

As an artist, designer, and craftsman, I’m passionate about creating lighting fixtures that are beautiful, functional, and timeless. Drawing on expertise in woodworking, metalworking, finishing, and lampshade fabrication, I craft one-of-a-kind, heirloom-quality pieces, proudly bench-made in the United States. Every piece is thoughtfully made to order, inviting clients to personalize their selections with metal finish options and combinations from brass to custom color formulations; a variety of woods and finishes; and tailored sizes, shade styles, and lampshade materials.

I’m deeply committed to providing thoughtful, personalized service, building lasting client relationships based on trust and genuine care.

I’m honored to work with distinguished clients like Victoria Hagan Interiors, Andrew Law Interior Design, Michael S. Smith Incorporated, Robert A.M. Stern Architects, David Kleinberg Design Associates, and Cullman & Kravis Associates, among others.

Notable projects include:

  • Oprah Winfrey’s Santa Barbara Residence

  • Judd Apatow’s New York City Residence

  • David Zaslav’s New York City Residence

  • Philip House NYC

  • Redeye Grill NYC

  • Golden Door Spa & Resort San Marcos, California

  • Multiple residences at The Four Seasons, Miami

About Patrick Thomas

I was born and raised in New Jersey, and I loved the arts and construction at a young age. From piano and origami lessons to wood shop and pottery, I was always in a class. I was the kid who wanted to learn and know how everything worked and was put together. And if I didn’t know, I was happy to take it apart and find out.

I studied interior design, home product design, marketing, and manufacturing at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City.  I then went on to manage a high-end lighting design firm in the City for the next eight years. After moving to Fort Lauderdale, I created my first product line of ten fixtures and launched Patrick Thomas Lighting in July 2007.

I also love cats… Cats are the absolute best!
