From Isaac Correa (Owner, THE UPSIDE DOWN CAKE COMPANY, Moscow, Russia):
“I first saw Michael’s lights in New York City and I fell in love with them. I liked them so much I decided to contact Michael personally to discuss the possibility of him designing the lighting for my upscale Moscow cafe, The Upside Down Cake Company. Although UDC has a lot of things that stick out, Michael’s chandeliers, pendants and sconces are the rave. Everyone loves them and getting them is a decision I will never regret.”
From Tom Colicchio (Host, TOP CHEF) & Lori Silverbush (Documentary film producer):
“Our McHale Industrial Collection Banqueting Chandelier literally elicits gasps of admiration from people who see it for the first time. The mix of elegant and industrial fits our loft — and our lives — perfectly.”
From Lady Cristiana Falcone-Sorrell (Advisor, WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM):
”We have two McHale Chandeliers in our New York home: an Industrial Collection Three-Bulb Linear Pendant, and a Bryce Collection Grand Chandelier. We appreciate the innovative qualities of both these pieces very much. While they are without a doubt fine examples of modern design, they both fit in beautifully in our 100+ year old living room.”
From Nicole Boxer (Film and TV producer, Washington insider):
“When we decided to renovate our Capitol Hill kitchen, I knew the center of attention would be a fantastic, light fixture— located directly above our island. I had seen a breathtaking fixture while visiting New York, and for a couple weeks, I couldn’t stop thinking about that beautiful chandelier. I had to have it. Thankfully, I tracked down Michael’s website. Then, in fact, I bought two.
“My kitchen is bright white, with clean lines. Michael’s design screams ‘cool and sexy’, unlike most things about Washington DC, and added an industrial touch. An extra bonus for my family: when the sun sets through our kitchen window and catches the light of the crystals, it casts a multitude of happy rainbows throughout the room. Thanks Michael, we love your work.”
From Jon J. Moses (Co-founder, UGO NETWORKS; Founder and CEO, WECHI, TriBeCa, NY):
“Our McHale Banqueting Chandelier is the perfect centerpiece of our loft, as it is at the confluence of the industrial brick, walls, tin ceilings and wood pillars and our contemporary finishes. As it hangs below a skylight it throws off the most beautiful colors which delight our kids in the early morning. It’s absolutely my favorite piece in our home. ”
From Frank Carfaro (Designer and owner, DESIRON, Soho, New York):
“We are very pleased to be working with Michael McHale on the American Express Skybox. His genre-breaking and beautiful pieces work so well on so many different levels — the contrast between rough and smooth, industrial and chic, and will be truly at home in the Skybox, an environment where great design is crucial.”
From Jordan Reid (Blogger, RAMSHACKLE GLAM, New York):
“These chandeliers, from Michael McHale Designs, hang in the window of a store that I pass by nearly every day, and I am completely and utterly obsessed with them. From what I can tell, it’s a relatively simple design – just pipes and crystal trim – but I think it blends utilitarian chic with decadent glamour in such a unique, striking way. I must own one…”
From Caroline Loomis Klein (Development and event consultant, New York) and Jason Klein (Digital media entrepreneur, New York):
“We first saw Michael’s work at a New York design store and fell in love with the marriage between elegant and industrial. Upon moving into our new home, we knew we had to have one sitting above our dining room table and worked with Michael to craft a custom piece perfect for our space.
“Michael was a pleasure to work with and totally understood what we envisioned. Upon installation, it turned out even better than we could have ever hoped! It’s the first thing in our apartment that people ask about!”
From Franki Durbin (Interior designer and blogger, Dallas, Texas):
“Michael McHale’s incredible chandeliers are much like his career: a study in contrasts. And like his gorgeous creations, it’s that juxtaposition that makes it so marvelous.”
