Customization


The L'Impianto surface mounted wiring system and Civetta can all be custom designed (within parameters) using standard items. Please inquire.

Aldo Bernardi also welcomes custom design requests that are specified using components of available fixtures. Please contact us with your ideas and customization requests at info@ollierdistributors.com. Drawings or sketches with dimensions are required.


Finishes


Aldo Bernardi is well known for his exceptional living finish - an "aged" patina on metals that changes as it is impacted by specific environmental "agents" and atmospheric conditions over time.

The specifications in catalogs and on tear sheets detail available finishes for any particular fixture.

For significant quantities, Aldo Bernardi is open to creating custom finishes.



Product Specifications


While we do our utmost to ensure that you always have the most accurate specification information on the products, please note that we are not responsible for any errors listed in the materials. Due to conversions from the metric system and the handcrafted nature of the lighting all weights and measurements are close approximations.
