Lightworks

Lightworks was started as a hobby business by Charles and Kathryn Dailey in 1997. We began our little venture by repairing and restoring antique and vintage light fixtures. When we secured an account from a national restaurant chain in 1999, our hobby turned into a full-fledged business. Our first rented space was on the fourth floor of the 100-year-old Rock Island Building (now Security Lofts Building) located in the historic NorthLoop warehouse district in downtown Minneapolis.As our business grew, we added our first employee, the remarkable Eric.

Our showroom is full of authentic antiques that we've personally restored here at Lightworks. Now you can check out some of our favorites on the Antiques page. Our showroom is constantly changing so check back regularly to see what's here-and come and get it before it's gone!

Customize your light fixture from Lightworks by choosing a shade from our shade collection or choose from a vast selection of art glass panels or silver or amber mica. Remember, the color and style of shade you select can significantly change the look of your fixture. Also, the size of the shade must match the shade holder on the fixture.
