Each light fixture we create tells a story—one of timeless craftsmanship, local heritage, and the beauty of our surroundings. Our Miramar Clara Lantern is no exception. This exquisite fixture is a modern homage to classic design, perfectly suited to enhance the charm of coastal homes and beyond. Let’s explore the inspiration behind this unique creation, from its handmade craftsmanship to its stylistic roots and the significance of its name.
A Modern Classic:
Design Elements of the Miramar Clara Lantern
The Miramar Clara Lantern embodies a harmonious blend of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary design. With its bell-shaped top and open glass panels, the lantern radiates a sense of openness and lightness. These design elements are inspired by the iconic architectural styles of Santa Barbara, known for their timeless elegance and connection to the natural environment. The absence of crossbars in the Clara version gives the lantern a sleek, modern appearance while maintaining a classic craftsman look. This design versatility allows the Miramar Clara to seamlessly integrate into various settings, from coastal retreats to mountain cabins and ranch-style homes.
Handmade with Tradition:
Crafting the Miramar Clara
What sets the Miramar Clara Lantern apart is not just its design but the meticulous craftsmanship behind it. Each lantern is handmade in our Southern California workshop, using heavy gauge steel and time-honored techniques. This commitment to craftsmanship ensures that every piece is not only beautiful but also durable, capable of withstanding the elements while aging gracefully over time. Our artisans draw inspiration from the enduring historical beauty found in Santa Barbara's architecture, using methods that have been passed down through generations. This dedication to quality and tradition imbues each lantern with a unique character, making it a lasting addition to any home.
A Tribute to Coastal Elegance:
The Name and Inspiration
The name "Miramar Clara" is a nod to the nearby Rosewood Miramar Beach Hotel, a local landmark known for its luxury and picturesque setting. The term "Clara," meaning "clear," reflects the lantern's open design, which maximizes the diffusion of light and enhances the beauty of its surroundings. This clarity and openness are reminiscent of the expansive coastal views that Santa Barbara is famous for. The lantern's design complements these views, with its open glass panels allowing light to shine through unobstructed, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
