Trenny Robb and Robert Michaud are lighting designers and manufactures of all types of lighting.  Together they run High Beams Ltd. Located in the North East Kingdom, town of Sutton, Vermont 
Trenny and Bob started out 26 years ago making lights of recycled lamps and reproducing Victorian style light fixtures and chandeliers.  As time went on they began making standing and table lamps out of copper and brass with shades made from leaves and flowers.  The mica rock that Trenny uses for her shades is mined out and then bound together with a binder and baked in large ovens to make sheets.  The sheets are then cut to make the shades.  The shades are trimmed in copper and given a patina.  The botanicals are then applied using 3 different types of nontoxic polymers. 
The lamps are made of Copper and Brass.  The artists pound their designs into the metal using screwdrivers and hammers.  They also make their own finials to go with the lamps.
High Beams now does lighting all over the US and down in the Caribbean.  They do lighting in all periods, indoor and out and can help you design a light or make what you have designed.
