One of the pleasures of a visit to Authentic Designs
is getting here. We are in rural southwestern Vermont, tucked into
the rolling hillsides of the Green Mountains, a beautiful drive from
any direction.
You are welcome to bring a lunch or snack to enjoy at our picnic tables
along the bank of the lovely Mill Brook. Or if you prefer, the nearby
towns of Dorset and Manchester offer a wide selection of restaurants
and shops. |
| At Authentic Designs we work in a converted
mill- a beautiful building with brick and slate floors and old wooden
beams, which we renovate as we grow. When you step through our doors
you enter an era where work is still done by hand, and where meticulous
craftsmanship matters more than quantity and speed of output. We are
not a factory, but a family of highly skilled artisans who make lighting
fixtures of unusual quality. |

When you visit Authentic Designs we will walk you through our workrooms where
you can talk with our craftsmen and women and observe their work.
Come explore the great variety of lighting fixtures we produce.
Touch the metals and appreciate the depth and softness of their
finished surfaces.
Our work day is never routine, but varies from day to day. You may
discover us making a one-of-a-kind piece, or restoring a rare antique.
We find great delight in our craft and welcome the opportunity to
share it with you.
