Authentic Designs has over 300 different models of handcrafted lighting on display in our Vermont showroom. We have fully equipped metal, wood, painting, wiring and assembly shops on location, where we create our standard and customized designs for retail, designer and architectural clients. Our lighting has frequently been adapted to work in European and international installations. The company was founded in 1966 by Danny Krauss, and today is run by his son Michael. Learn more about the story behind Authentic Designs. Our capabilities and product line have continued to grow, but our core mission has remained the same. Sources for our traditional designs have come from extensive research conducted over many years. We have worked with museums, historical restorations, private collectors and clients who bring originals for us to rereate. Our adaptations can be built for oil, for candle, or wired for electricity. Our clients include designers, architects, and home owners looking for the perfect lighting to complement their house. Here are some of our clients and some of the nice things they've said about us. There've even been some articles about us in Architectal Digest and other magazines. Our shop is located in a converted wood pick mill with brick and slate floors, old wooden beams and many large original windows that look out over the Green Mountains.
