Custom Moroccan Lighting

Custom Moroccan Lighting

Some spaces need a light that does not exist yet. A stairwell that is too tall for anything in the catalog. A restaurant that needs fourteen pendants to hang in a perfect row. A hotel lobby that asks for a chandelier three meters across. That is what our custom work is for.

Custom Moroccan lighting means pieces designed and built to order by Moroccan artisans, in brass, shaped around your space. You bring the room and the measurements. We bring the craft: hand pierced openings, engraved detail, and metalwork shaped entirely by hand. Every custom piece is handmade in Morocco, and every order is handled with the same care as the smallest catalog pendant.

The process is simpler than most people expect. It starts with a conversation about your space, not a catalog number. Tell us about the project, the room, the ceiling height, the feeling you want the light to give, and we will confirm what is possible. Then we agree on a design and confirm pricing and timing with you in writing, and nothing is made until you confirm.

Moroccan lighting is loved for the way it throws light: pierced patterns scatter warm pools of glow across walls and ceilings, and each pattern casts its own constellation. In custom work, that effect becomes part of the design conversation. We talk about where the light will fall, how bright the room should feel, and how the fixture looks both lit and unlit. The result is a piece that belongs to the room in every sense.

Tell us about your project below, and we will confirm what is possible and make the light your space was waiting for.

How Custom Orders Work

Custom work with BrassNoor follows five simple steps. We keep the process human, because every project is different, and a form cannot tell us what a conversation can.

1. Tell us about the project. Send us a message describing what you want: the room or the building, the measurements you have, the kind of light you are imagining, and any photos or sketches that help. A hotel lobby, a restaurant dining room, an entryway at home. The more we know about the space, the better the answer we can give. We will read everything carefully and come back with real questions, not a template. This first conversation asks for no commitment.

2. We confirm what is possible. Not everything can be built, and we will tell you plainly when something cannot. For every request we answer three questions: can the design be made at that size, can it be made to hang safely, and can it be made beautifully. If the answer to all three is yes, we move forward. If something needs to change, a dimension, a form, a way of hanging it, we will say so and propose what works. Honesty at this stage saves everyone time and disappointment later.

3. Design and quote. We agree on the design together: form, pattern, finish, dimensions, suspension, and the number of fixtures. We confirm pricing and timing with you in writing before anything is made, and nothing is made until you say yes.

4. Handcrafting. The artisans make your piece by hand: shaped, pierced and engraved, then finished with care. Custom work takes longer than ready made pieces, because each piece is made to order and every design gets extra attention. If anything changes along the way, we will tell you. From the first message to the finished piece, you deal with people who know your project by name.

5. Delivery. The finished piece is packed with care and shipped to you from Morocco. Your electrician installs it. We are available if your installer has questions about the piece.

A note on honesty: custom work is a promise between people. If your project needs something we cannot do, we would rather lose the order than make a piece we are not proud of. That is how we work, and that is how we work with you.

What Can Be Customized

Almost every part of a light can be shaped around your project. Below are the areas where custom work makes the biggest difference. If what you have in mind is not listed, ask us anyway. Tell us the size and finish you have in mind and we will confirm what is possible.

Some clients arrive with exact drawings. Others arrive with a photo of a room and a feeling they cannot name. Both are welcome. The consultation is where we turn either starting point into a design the artisans can build.

Size and proportions. This is the heart of custom work. A pendant can be scaled for a double height stairwell or for a quiet reading corner. A chandelier can be widened to hold a dining room. Tell us about the space and the ceiling height, and we will confirm what can be made and hung safely.

Finishes. Custom pieces can be made in the finishes we offer. If you already love a finish from the collection, say so. If you have something else in mind, describe it and we will confirm what is possible. See the Brass Finish Guide for the finishes in the collection.

Patterns. Choose a pattern from our catalog designs, or ask us about adapting one to a new form. Tell us what you have in mind and we will confirm what is possible.

Suspension. Suspension can be chosen for your ceiling height, including long drops for stairwells and double height spaces. Tell us the height and the ceiling type and we will confirm the options.

Multi fixture configurations. Rows of matching pendants for a restaurant. A pair of sconces that mirrors the chandelier above. A cluster of pendants at different heights for a stairwell. Tell us about the set you need and we will confirm whether it can be built as a matched group.

Hospitality and trade projects. Hotels, restaurants, cafes, and interior designers are welcome. Tell us about your project and its schedule, and we will confirm how we can help. See the Trade Program page and the Hospitality page for the dedicated paths.

Featured Custom Pieces

These are the kinds of projects custom work can be. They are examples of what is possible, not fixed products. Every one is quoted individually.

  1. Large entryway chandelier, built to the ceiling height. A statement piece for double height spaces, scaled so the proportions sit right in the room.
  2. Restaurant pendant row, matched set. Identical pendants built together for a long counter or dining room, with matching finish and pattern across every shade.
  3. Hotel lobby fixture, oversized dome. A single large dome that anchors a lobby, designed to be seen from the mezzanine as well as from below.
  4. Oversized dome pendant for a stairwell. A tall vertical drop where the pendant becomes a sculpture between floors.
  5. Matched sconce pairs. Wall sconces built to mirror a custom chandelier or pendant, so one pattern runs through the whole room.
  6. Custom finish piece. A catalog form remade in a different finish, from unlacquered brass to patina or black and gold.
  7. Staircase drop, multi pendant cluster. Several pendants at staggered heights on long suspensions, hung as one composition.
  8. Oversized lantern for a covered terrace. A large lantern form for sheltered outdoor spaces.
  9. Scaled catalog pendant. A design you love from the collection, rebuilt larger or smaller for your room.

Have something different in mind? That is the point of custom work. Send us a sketch, a photo, or just a description, and we will tell you honestly whether it can be made. The pieces above are starting points for a conversation, not a catalog. Your project can borrow from any of them, combine several ideas, or start from a blank page entirely.

Why Custom BrassNoor

Handmade in Morocco. Custom pieces are made by the same Moroccan artisans, shaped, pierced and engraved by hand, the same way every BrassNoor light is made. Nothing is mass produced, and nothing is rushed. Each piece carries the marks of the hands that made it. That is not a flaw in the finish. It is the finish.

Direct from Morocco. You speak with us, and the piece travels from Morocco to your ceiling. Ask about your light, and we will give you a real answer.

Brass at any scale. The material does not change because the piece is larger. Custom work is built in brass, chosen and finished with the same care as our smallest pendant. A chandelier gets the same attention as a single sconce. Scale changes the work involved, never the standard.

One source for the whole project. When a room needs several fixtures in one pattern and finish, they are made to match. One pattern, one finish, one source, across the whole room.

Trade Program. Interior designers, architects, and hospitality buyers have a dedicated path. See the Trade Program page. Tell us about the project and we will confirm how we can help.

The Custom Process in Detail

Consultation. It starts with a conversation. You describe the project, and we ask questions: the measurements of the space, the ceiling height and ceiling type, the number of fixtures, the atmosphere you want, the deadline you are working toward. Photos of the space and any sketches help enormously. This conversation asks for no commitment, and it ends with an honest answer about what we can do. Bring questions. The best custom pieces often start with a client who knows what they want to feel in the room, even if they cannot describe the light yet.

Measurements and drawings. Once the scope is clear, we confirm the dimensions that matter for your piece: the shade size, the suspension length, and how it will hang. Where drawings help the conversation, we will tell you what we can share before production. We measure twice, in every sense: the numbers have to be right, and the design has to be right for the numbers.

Materials confirmation. We confirm the brass, the finish, and the pattern for your piece before anything is made. If you would like a finish sample before committing, ask us and we will tell you what is possible.

Production. The artisans build your piece by hand: shaped, pierced and engraved, with extra care because the design is new or scaled. Each custom piece moves at the pace the work demands, not the pace of a production line.

Quality check. We check your piece before packing, so it leaves ready for its journey.

Packing and shipping. Every piece is packed with care for its journey, and large pieces get extra protection. Every order ships with free worldwide shipping.

From the first message to the day the light goes up, you deal with people who know the piece, not a ticket queue.

Timelines and Pricing

Custom work takes longer than ready made pieces, and we would rather say that plainly than promise speed we cannot keep. Each project is quoted individually, because size, pattern, finish, and quantity all change the work involved.

What we can say honestly: we confirm pricing with you in writing before anything is made, and you approve it before we begin. If something about the project would make it unusually expensive, a very large scale, a new pattern, a difficult installation condition, we tell you before you commit, not after.

Timelines depend on the project. When you tell us your deadline, we will tell you whether we can meet it. If we cannot, we will say so before you commit, not after.

Revisions: if you want changes, tell us early. We will explain how changes are handled before you approve anything, so you always know where you stand.

A custom piece is not an off the shelf product with a delivery estimate. It is a small commission, and it moves at the pace of handwork. What we promise is clarity: you will always know where your piece stands.

The consultation asks for no commitment, and you confirm nothing until you approve the written pricing. That is the whole point of the process: no pressure, no guessing, no surprises.

Shipping and Installation for Custom Pieces

  • Custom pieces ship from Morocco. Operations, payments, and communication are handled from Canada.
  • Every piece is packed with care for its journey, and large pieces get extra protection.
  • Every custom order ships with free worldwide shipping.
  • Installation should be done by a licensed electrician. For custom pieces this matters more, since they can be larger and heavier, and sometimes hang on long drops. Share the piece details with your installer before installation day, and pass along any questions. We are happy to help.
  • For hospitality projects on a construction schedule, tell us your installation window during the consultation and we will factor it into the conversation.
  • If a piece arrives damaged, tell us right away with photos and we will make it right.

Care

Custom pieces are cared for exactly like the rest of the collection. Unlacquered brass can be polished back to brightness or left to develop patina. Sealed, aged, antique, and patina finishes should be dusted with a dry soft cloth and never polished. Switch the light off and let the bulb cool before cleaning. See the Care Guide for each finish in detail.

Custom Lighting FAQs

How do I start a custom order?
Send us a message about your project: what the space is, the measurements you have, and what kind of light you are imagining. Photos and sketches help. Do not worry about getting the terminology right. Describe the room in your own words. We will read it, ask questions, and give you an honest answer about what is possible. The first conversation asks for no commitment.

What information should I provide?
The room or building, the measurements of the space, the ceiling height and ceiling type, how many fixtures you need, the atmosphere you want, and any deadline you are working toward. Photos of the space and sketches of what you have in mind are the most useful things you can send.

Is there a minimum order for custom work?
Tell us about your project, even if it is a single piece, and we will confirm what is possible. There is no fixed minimum we can publish here, because every project is different.

Can you match an existing fixture?
Often, yes. If you have a BrassNoor piece and want matching sconces, a matching chandelier, or a matching pendant in a different size, we can build from the same pattern and finish. If you have someone else’s fixture, send us photos and we will tell you honestly what we can and cannot do. We will not promise a match we cannot make.

Which finishes are available on custom orders?
Custom pieces can be made in the finishes we offer. Tell us the finish you have in mind, or ask to see what is available, and we will confirm what is possible for your piece. See the Brass Finish Guide for the finishes in the collection.

How long does a custom order take?
It depends on the project. A simple change moves differently than a large piece designed from scratch. Tell us your deadline early and we will say plainly whether we can meet it, before you commit to anything.

How much does custom lighting cost?
Every project is priced individually, because size, pattern, finish, and quantity all change the work. We confirm pricing with you in writing before anything is made, and you approve it before we begin.

Can I see a drawing or a sample before production?
Where drawings or finish samples are possible for your project, we will tell you what we can provide before production. Just ask during the consultation.

How many revisions are included?
Tell us about any changes before you approve the quote, and we will explain how revisions are handled. If something needs to change after approval, tell us right away and we will work it out with you honestly.

Do you do custom lighting for restaurants and hotels?
Yes. Hospitality projects are a core part of our custom work: rows of matching pendants for a dining room, an oversized fixture for a lobby, sconces that mirror the chandelier. Contact us about your project and we will confirm what is possible. See the Hospitality page and the Trade Program page for the dedicated paths.

What are the trade terms for designers and architects?
We welcome designers and architects through the Trade Program page. Tell us about your project and we will confirm how we can work together.

How are large custom pieces shipped?
Large custom pieces are packed with extra care and shipped from Morocco, with free worldwide shipping on every order.

What is your return policy on custom pieces?
Custom pieces are made to order for your space. Before you commit, ask us about the return and cancellation policy for made to order pieces and we will explain it plainly. We want you to order with confidence, and that starts with knowing the terms before you approve the quote.

Do custom pieces come with wiring and suspension hardware?
Each piece is made to be installed by a licensed electrician. Tell us about your installation during the consultation and we will confirm what ships with your piece.

Custom Lighting Questions, Answered Directly

Can Moroccan lighting be customized?

Yes. BrassNoor builds custom lighting to order in brass. Contact us about your project and we will confirm what is possible for size, proportions, finish, pattern, suspension, and multi fixture configurations. The work is done by hand by Moroccan artisans, the same way the catalog pieces are made. You describe the project, we confirm what is possible, and nothing is made until you confirm.

How long does a custom lighting order take?

Custom work takes longer than ready made pieces, because each project is designed, priced, and built individually. Tell us your deadline during the consultation and we will tell you honestly whether we can meet it, before you commit to anything.

How much does custom Moroccan lighting cost?

Every project is priced individually. Size, pattern, finish, and quantity all change the work involved, so there is no single price. We confirm pricing with you in writing before anything is made, and you approve it before we begin.

Can you make custom lighting for a restaurant or hotel?

Yes. Hospitality work is a core part of our custom practice: rows of matching pendants for a dining room, an oversized fixture for a lobby, sconces that mirror the chandelier. Contact us about your project and we will confirm what is possible before you commit.

Can you build a light to fit my ceiling height?

That is one of the most common custom requests. Suspension can be chosen for your ceiling, including long drops for stairwells and double height spaces. Tell us the ceiling type, because a heavy brass piece needs the right mounting, and we will confirm what works.

Can you match a light I already own?

If it is a BrassNoor piece, very often yes: we can build matching sconces, pendants, or a chandelier from the same pattern and finish. If it is someone else’s fixture, send us photos and we will tell you honestly what we can and cannot do. We will not promise a match we cannot make.

What is the difference between a custom order and a catalog piece in a custom finish?

A catalog piece in a custom finish keeps the standard form, pattern, and dimensions, and only the finish changes. A full custom order can change the size, the proportions, the pattern, the suspension, or the configuration, or build something entirely new. Tell us which path fits your project and we will confirm the quote and the timeline. If all you need is a different finish on a design you love, say so: it is the simpler path.
