Feel it.
Form it.
Light it.

Hand-carved glass and integrated LED lighting engineered together for atmosphere — not just a surface. Every piece is made by hand in Tampa, delivered and installed anywhere in the country.

There is no factory, no production team, no outsourced fabrication. Jeff Downing has personally designed, fabricated, delivered, and installed every piece since 2000. Single pieces up to 130 inches — because our kilns are large enough to produce what European suppliers cannot air-freight.

Why Downing Designs

Hand-Carved Texture

Never stamped, never catalogued. Every surface is carved by hand in the Tampa studio and kiln-fired until the texture is permanent. No two pieces are identical.

Single Pieces to 130″

No seam is the difference between a bar top and a statement. Our kiln dimensions allow single-piece fabrication up to 130 inches — what European suppliers cannot air-freight.

The Ambiance Machine™

Integrated LED lighting engineered into the surface from the start. Edge and down-lighting systems are IP-67 rated for moisture and outdoor installations.

Ultra-Low-Iron Glass

Standard glass has a greenish tint that mutes LED color output. Ultra-low-iron glass is optically clear, letting the full spectrum of the lighting system come through.

Nationwide Installation

Residential and commercial installations across Florida and coast to coast. Personal installation by Jeff Downing available anywhere. No third-party installers.

Complimentary Consultation

Every project starts with a conversation — not a form. Template, fabrication, custom crating, and shipping are included. No surprises, no wait, no middlemen.
