Lighting: The New Industrialists

July 9, 2014

A couple of years ago, when a search for a decent bedside light came up short, marketing executive Jamie Long decided to make his own. He was so pleased with the results that he put the lamp on eBay instead of by his bed. It immediately sold, and Long Made Co. was born. Today Jamie and his wife, Carissa, run their small business from their 1885 shotgun house (think narrow and long) in Houston’s Old Sixth Ward.

Inspired by vintage pharmacy, dentistry, and jewelry lighting made by longstanding firms such as O.C. White, Faries, and Lyhne, Long Made Co.’s designs are notable not only for their classic American style but also for their solid construction and attention to detail. All lamps are handcrafted by Jamie from high-quality brass or steel, and all machined parts are made in the US.
