About Us

Metro Lighting creates beautiful, sustainable lighting handcrafted in California. We strive to provide the most beautiful products while making sure we do right by our home. This means supporting the community by hiring local artisans who create sustainable products that keep our environment healthy. It’s been 24 years since husband and wife, Lawrence and Christa, founded Metro Lighting. In that time, our showroom has expanded from a small garage workshop to an 8000 square foot facility, with more than 35,000 fixtures sold. Metro Lighting takes inspiration for our name from the work of early Modernist architect Hector Guimard, designer of the famous Paris Metro subway stations. Drawing from this, as well as backgrounds in architecture, Lawrence, Christa, and the Metro team have delivered beautiful, eco-friendly, artisan lighting to over 12,000 customers and businesses since 1993. Metro Lighting has always striven to brighten the lives of our customers. We produce our lighting in-house and work with a vast network of American suppliers to support our community along with yours.

Metro Lighting provided design services and patient advice on a number of aesthetic choices for lighting throughout our straw bale cottage We are very pleased with their competence, the timeliness of supplying fixtures, and the beautiful lighting. We especially appreciate local sourcing and construction.

We have used Metro Lighting for several projects in the Berkeley area. They offer unique one-of-kind fixtures that are made on-site. If you need something that isn't in their product line, they can make it for you. Great service too!

Metro Lighting has been my primary resource for creating custom pendants, chandeliers and wall sconces for my clients for over 12 years. Christa & Lawrence, along with their team are always very helpful and knowledgeable. Whether you're restoring a vintage home or looking for something unique and modern, they work with you to create something truly special, made right in their studio shop. They have a wonderful selection of shades and light fixtures throughout the showroom to help with ideas. You are able to specify the shade, the stem, the finish and the exact dimensions of what you need to build the perfect fixture for your project, including specialty customized glass from local artisans. There's also a great light bulb station to view a vast array of light bulbs and how they will work with your fixtures as well. It's a pleasure to work with people like Lawrence and Christa who are so environmentally responsible, and extremely active and supportive in their community.

Christa and all the staff at Metro have been a great resource for custom lighting for probably 10 projects in the last year.. All on time great pricing, and the quality of the work is terrific. Always fun to be there and work with them on projects.
