For interior designer Greta Galli, lighting isn’t just functional—it’s transformative. Having worked with Chris Blandford of Artisans Electric on numerous lighting upgrades throughout her home, she trusted him completely when it came time to install her most ambitious fixture yet: an authentic Venetian chandelier from Sogni di Cristallo. This exquisite, hand-blown glass piece, with its delicate crystal leaves, floral accents, and electrified arms, was destined to become the room’s crowning jewel.
Installing such an intricate fixture required expertise, precision, and problem-solving. The chandelier’s delicate craftsmanship meant Chris had to take extraordinary care with each piece. Additionally, the fixture presented a unique challenge in mounting, requiring a custom-fitted crossbar, reinforced ceiling support, and specialty hardware to achieve both stability and beauty. “A chandelier of this scale isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about ensuring safety and longevity,” Chris explains. “Proper wiring, support, and positioning make all the difference.”
Greta’s confidence in Chris never wavered. “Lighting transforms a space,” she says. “I completely trusted him, but I was so nervous I had to step out of the room at times!” Chris’s meticulous approach, combined with his calm professionalism, ensured the chandelier was placed perfectly, enhancing the room’s design.
Now, the chandelier radiates timeless elegance, a testament to Greta’s design expertise and Artisans Electric’s commitment to craftsmanship—proving that when skill and vision align, the result is nothing short of luminous perfection.
