Viorel Hodre is a fine craftsman making unusual light sculptures for use in   contemporary residential and commercial interiors. 

Each lamp is handcrafted, signed and dated.  For table and floor lights he sculpts and polishes bases from Alabama white marble or from reclaimed centuries-old New Orleans  cypress.  The lamp stems are copper with solid brass fittings. Some light sculptures are pendant lights meant to be installed hanging from the ceiling.   Each shade is unique, created from imported handmade papers stretched over a wood frame.  Some shades feature brilliantly colored  papers; others are pure white rice paper.  All of them glow beautifully when illuminated and cast a soft light, perfect for creating a focal point in any interior.

Viorel’s light sculptures range in size from around 30 inches up to 8 feet tall. Hanging lights can be very large, with the advantage that paper and wood together weigh very little, and so require very little special installation work.  He will work with you to create a special piece to fit your interior.
