Babette Holland's finishes and use of color, clearly mark a truly outstanding piece. The colors have a depth and multi-color look and shimmer of dupioni silk and precious jewels. Babette Holland offers fine hand-crafted lighting, mirrors and decorative accessories in distinctive and vivid hand applied finishes. Babette Holland is a husband-wife partnership in design and manufacturing. Tony Brown and Babette Holland have lovingly run Babette Holland together for 17 years. Everyday, they go to the factory in Greenpoint, Brooklyn to make beautiful, functional American-made products. The color radiates from all angles and is beautifully affected by light.


They use aluminum, a material that's been recyled since they originated 17 years ago. The finishes are treated with great care from initial washing of the metal in a bio-degradable, non-phosphate cleaner. This reclaims their waste to use of a new eco-friendly topcoat which makes the final product tougher in all types of environments, yet allows it to be recycled when the time comes. These are objects selected to enhance our lives, homes, workplaces and places we visit Babette Holland hopes that these pieces will matter more if they're made the right way and in the right place.
