Arquet, San Francisco Ferry Building
A highlight of the project is the private dining room fixture, a one-of-a-kind collaboration between Lawrence from Metro Lighting and the late Helen Holt. This sculptural piece combines Helen’s artfully draped and handsewn fabric over a custom welded frame, creating a dramatic yet intimate centerpiece for the space.

Wayfare Tavern
Tyler Florence's new space blends vintage charm with modern sophistication, featuring rich textures, classic detailing, and a warm, inviting atmosphere.
A standout element? In our humble opinion, it's the custom lighting by Metro Lighting. Ten large scale chandeliers spread throughout the dining areas complement the historic architecture and enhance the intimate ambiance. Custom nouveau bar lamps greet you at the hostess stand and march down the bustling bar.

Bar Agricole
Led by owner Thad Vogler and architect Seth Boor of Boor Projects, the space was conceived with a strong emphasis on materiality, light, and spatial coherence. Every detail is intentional, but it’s the custom-designed lighting—designed and executed in close collaboration with Boor—that acts as the connective tissue of the experience.
