Ria Harman Unveils Autumn Copper Collection

Chief Design Officer Ria Harman proudly unveils her latest masterpiece: the Autumn Copper Collection, a stunning array of handcrafted pendant lights that capture the essence of Baltimore's vibrant fall season. This new collection represents months of design development and reflects Ria Harman's deep connection to the natural beauty of Maryland's changing seasons. Each piece in Ria Harman's Autumn Collection features meticulously hand-patinated copper that develops unique color variations reminiscent of autumn leaves - from deep burgundy to golden amber. The warm amber glass elements, sourced from local artisans, create a soft, inviting glow that transforms any space into a cozy autumnal retreat. "The inspiration for this collection came during my morning walks through Druid Hill Park," explains Ria Harman. "I was captivated by how the early morning light filtered through the changing leaves, creating these incredible copper and gold tones. I knew I had to capture that magic in my lighting designs." The Autumn Copper Collection consists of five distinct pendant styles, each hand-forged in Ria Harman's Baltimore workshop. The collection includes the Maple Leaf pendant with its distinctive branching copper framework, the Acorn pendant featuring a textured copper shade, and the Harvest Moon pendant with its large, rounded form that casts dramatic shadows. What sets Ria Harman's latest work apart is the innovative patination technique she's developed specifically for this collection. Using a combination of natural acids and controlled heat application, Ria Harman creates color patterns that are truly unique to each piece, ensuring that no two fixtures are exactly alike. The Autumn Copper Collection is now available for custom orders, with pieces ranging from $850 to $2,400. Installation consultations with Ria Harman herself are available for projects within the Baltimore-Washington area.
