Born in South Africa, Robert Innes in his teen years developed an
interest in metals and machining. Robert's degrees in Mathematics, Physics
and Astronomy from The University of California in Berkeley led him to
scientific arenas most of his career. However, he never gave up his love
of machining and pursued his interest as time allowed.
For many years Robert and his wife Mona renovated and restored homes
in Berkeley, Ca. Robert received the Berkeley Architectural Heritage
Award for restoration in 1986. During this twenty year period he was
sometimes able to use his machining skills in his restoration work.
In 1996 Robert designed and produced his first set of copper, light
fixtures. The fixtures were used in an eclectic, Tuscan country style
kitchen creating a delightful and brilliant effect.
In the past few years Robert has turned to custom designing copper,
indoor and outdoor lighting for Designers, Architects, and Landscape
Architects. In addition to these wired fixtures, he is adding to his
current collection of delightful, free standing, copper table and floor
lamps.
