Art lighting for architecture
Lighting conceived as sculpture, engineered for the space it occupies
Berkana creates large-scale crystal compositions for double-height entrances, stairwells, dining rooms, hospitality interiors and commercial architecture. Each piece is developed around the volume it will hang in - its proportion, its sightlines and the way daylight and lamplight move through cut crystal.

The catalog is a design vocabulary
The model shown online establishes the design language, approximate scale and MSRP reference. Berkana then adapts the composition to the project. Nearly every project changes something.

Crafted in the Czech Republic
Bohemian crystal, made by hand
Berkana fixtures are manufactured in the Czech Republic by Elite Bohemia, using Bohemian crystal and a process that remains roughly ninety-nine percent handwork: glass drawn and blown, cut, polished, assembled, wired and tested by the same workshop.
Berkana is the North American face of that work - developing project requirements, coordinating custom design with the Czech team, and supporting the project through installation.

Czech production
The fixture is manufactured to order in the Czech Republic.
Quality control
Inspection and preparation for shipment.
Logistics
Delivery coordinated to the project site.
Installation & support
Nationwide installation and after-sales support where required.
Typical production windows: small fixtures approximately 5-6 weeks, medium and semi-large approximately 6-8 weeks, large custom compositions 8 weeks and up, quoted by project. Cataloged designs can move faster because the base engineering already exists.
