Besa Lighting

Besa Lighting is a studio and art glass lighting manufacturer proudly based in Ohio USA, making them one of the few remaining artisans lighting shops in the United States. Throughout Besa Lightings’s extensive history in making decorative lighting fixtures they have offered sophisticated fixture designs intended to complement virtually all types of architecture. The uniquely functional designs feature European glass artisanship, sensibly contemporary styling, and flexibility in both lamping and mounting options. The Besa Lighting line includes a wide assortment of styles, which are designed with a commitment to fulfill the demanding needs of both residential and commercial applications.

Through extensive collaboration with American designers and European craftsmen, Besa Lighting brings together traditional manufacturing techniques with avant-garde sensibility, resulting in beautiful handcrafted glass that only true artisans can create.

Nobody does glass lighting fixtures better than Besa Lighting. Working with American designers and European craftsmen, the company merges old world techniques with avant-garde innovation, resulting in lighting fixtures of unprecedented quality and beauty. Besa offers a compelling assortment with a commitment to meeting the demands of both residential and commercial applications. 

Besa’s notable designs also include a wide range of finishes and energy-efficient lamping options, most notably compact fluorescent and LED lamping options. The crowning jewel of their offering is the exceptional artisan crafted studio glass utilizing century-old techniques passed down from generation to generation. Their glass fixtures are individually hand inspected at their factory in Ohio, ensuring acceptable variation in the color, pattern, thickness and dimension before they deliver the product to any of their customers. 

With unique yet functional designs that deliver innovative looks, Besa combines European glass artisanship with sensibly contemporary styling. In doing so, Besa has carved out a niche in the lighting industry as a high end design manufacturer, utilizing its strengths in domestic sourcing, in-house assembly, labeling and component based inventory. Component based production allows the lighting buyer to pick options that match a specific need, which means each fixture can be assembled to order in the United States. That, of course, helps Besa maintain a level of quality that can't be duplicated with a "box-in, box-out approach" that many lighting manufacturers rely on. 

Some of Besa Lighting's most popular designs can be found in the Costaluz collection. Costaluz was developed to meet the harsh environments of coastal lighting for outdoor areas, while still providing elegance at an affordable price. Costaluz uses beautiful decorated glass diffusers, hand-painted by European craftsmen, then fired to assure a durable finish for years to come.

Some other customer favorites include  the "Pogo," a playful pendant with an opal glass in the center of a stunning metal foil-lined glass ring. "Brio" is another favorite with its handcrafted glass softly contoured to fit gracefully into contemporary spaces. When illuminated the inner foil glows and the clear bottom glass sparkles brilliantly.
