Rebecca Robeson, interior designer extraordinaire, recently completed an enormous, exciting task few others would dare undertake. She accepted the challenge of renovating a grand Mount Soledad home. Her first goal was to find a way to direct the eye toward an incredible spiral staircase in the area, drawing focus to the home’s verticality and expanse.
What she wanted was a light fixture hung from the very top ceiling of the home that would come down 30 feet to light up all three floors of the place. “Nothing like that existed unless it was some sort of glitzy, Vegas-looking thing. I wanted a classic design aesthetic. There was another problem: How was I going to hang anything from the glass skylight in the staircase ceiling?”
