Unique Solutions for Extraordinary Lighting
Dogfork Lamp Arts is a multi-dimensional shop with the ability to restore antiques as well as design and build new lighting. We are licensed to UL list antique and one-of-a-kind incandescent, hard-wired fixtures.
Dogfork’s founder, Mike Donnelly has always had a love for lighting. Over 25 years ago, he began to collect and repair his pieces for resale. Along the way, we have amassed a talented team of artists and builders. Dogfork is now housed in a 10,000 square foot warehouse in Bayview Industrial Park to accommodate our ever expanding collection and busy repair and restoration projects.

Quality Components and Processes
From the vendors and parts we choose for our repairs and custom builds, to our curated lighting collection, our clients can relax knowing that we are providing safe, high-quality work.
Being trusted with a collector’s (or granny’s) light fixture is not for the faint of heart! We take pride in our attention to detail and ability to problem solve.
The industry is moving fast with new components and approaches to lighting design entering the market daily. Dogfork prides itself on bridging the gap between old world and new.
”We have worked closely with Dogfork on the rewiring and restoration and updating of all our antique fixtures for years. Michael and his team do superb work and always surprise us with their creative solutions and quick turnaround. We depend on Dogfork and are constantly happy with their work.”
— Jeffry Weisman, Fisher Weisman
“As an interior design firm we purchase lights from all over the globe, and Dogfork is the company that we trust to make these lights come to life. Whether it's rewiring, UL listing, or more extensive work like custom design, refinishing, or major repair and refurbishment, Dogfork has a meticulous eye and an exceptional skill set. Their team can handle delicate antiques and brand new fixtures alike, are incredibly communicative, and work with us hand-in-hand to craft beautiful light fixtures.
We've come to Dogfork with a massive range of requests and they have always found a beautiful solution. Along with their sister company, Lamp Shades SF, they are our first stop for all our custom lighting needs. Dogfork has an incredible team who stands by the quality of their work, takes feedback openly if a fixture does not turn out exactly as expected, and always exceeds our expectations. Thank you to Mike, Dida, Beth, Dawn and the rest of the Dogfork team for helping us craft pieces that we are proud to showcase in our clients' homes!”

It is a joy to find a craftsman with a keen aesthetic eye who also takes a sense of pride in offering quality workmanship. I have been consistently pleased with Michael’s dependability and the good spirit he has engendered with his team. I look forward to each visit with pleasure!."
