GKLG is proud to offer the Design community one of the broadest selections of styles and products manufactured in the United States. From our high-end cast and crystal chandeliers from American Brass and Crystal, offering designs made from old world European components and workmanship as well as ultra-modern clean lined and minimalist styles. To the oldest lighting manufacturer in USA, H.A. Framburg, offering high quality, high design fixtures custom made while reasonably priced. This is so you don’t have to compromise your design aesthetic using an import company that cant fulfill the vision.

Arroyo and House of Troy round out the American Lighting Brands family of lines. These companies let you continue the consistency in your projects by offering both outdoor and portable elements also made in the USA. Your clients will notice and appreciate the integrity in your projects that you get from using a true American manufacturer.

We continue in our focus with Justice Design Group, whom not only offers their amazing ceramic line that is produced in California, but also has some of the most aesthetically pleasing and customized design platforms in the lighting industry.

Beacon fans and Finesse décor round out the package we present you. Beacon has created one of the most unique and versatile fan lines in the world. They hold the global patent on their Fan-Away family of fans. These fans use a technology that allows the blades to completely disappear when turned off, thus creating a beautiful pendant in any room or application. Finesse is a great go-to for quick ship on more modern and whimsical designs needed on your projects quickly and within a budget.

Thank you for taking the time to see what GKLG has to offer you and your clients. Our agency has created the perfect platform to meet virtually all your Lighting and Design needs.
