', 'This high end Portland clothing retailer had been in their old location for decades, helping to cement their reputation as a Portland institution. WHen they had to move to a new location a few blocks away, they wanted that established "been there forever" feel to be there when they arrived. Eleek was contracted to design and manufacture exterior decorative sconces that brought the building a unique creative flair as well as an historical patina.
', 'OSF asked us to design a large, ornate chandelier for their new Boise restaurant. They wanted something that would fit in with their festive, eclectic, antique-meets-carnival decorating scheme.

The result is the Swan sconce, combining recycled aluminum eco-chic with classic art deco styling.

Working closely with the project\'\s design team, Eleek was eventually entrusted with a great deal of the custom decorative accent work for this building. In the end, Eleek created eleven unique designs for The Elizabeth, totaling 463 pieces.
', 'This project was built on a site that was formerly part of the Burlington Rail Yards, inspiring the design team toward a railroad theme and the posh Art Deco styling of the Burlington\'\s famous Zephyr streamliner fleet.
