What We Do: Lighting Design and Fabrication - and Much More

Holoframe Corp specializes in site-specific lighting fixtures for architectural, commercial, and residential locations. In addition, however, we offer innovative problem-solving capabilities in a number of industrial and artistic disciplines, from laser optics to motion control, to screen printing and holography. We are experts in the field of lenticular imaging, which we often integrate into our lighting designs.

• Consultation We can create a plan, specify fixtures, work from/modify an existing plan, or come in after-the-fact, and troubleshoot lighting that is not working.

• Design and Fabrication We can create lighting concepts and take them to a finished product, design to specifications, or anything in between

• Commercial Display/Lighting Integration We will make sure that your display works with the lighting around it, either by designing the whole area, or telling you how to eliminate existing problems. For instance, if you need a custom light-box, or want to brightly illuminate a store window without overpowering the interior, we will find a solution.  We can also incorporate theatre lighting, laser-light shows, and other exotic types of lighting and displays.

• Uniquely Diverse Capabilities and Expertise Holoframe can fabricate large or small runs. We can create high-tolerance, precision-engineered products, or produce a one-of-a-kind, industrial artwork, displaying the elegant touch of a master-artisan. We can build you a CNC router-cut trade show display, or reproduce a 1930’s French wall sconce for your home. We can design a high-tech, servo-motor controlled optical assembly, or make your restaurant the hottest new place there is.

Dan Kainen

Holoframe is the brainchild of Dan Kainen, who has been creating innovative lighting fixtures and environments for many upscale locations in New York, and other cities since 1980. In the 90's, he distributed a line of stock lighting products nation-wide. With a background in both design and optical engineering, Mr. Kainen’s lighting designs combine the best of both the worlds of Art and Science. For instance, his snap-on, retrofit framing projector, licensed to Halo Lighting in the mid-eighties, is still the smallest, most efficient projector of its kind, and much of Mr. Kainen’s other work often includes designs that display optical principals, such as the carefully controlled interference patterns in his "Moiré" fixtures. He is especially well known for his restaurant lighting.

Mr. Kainen holds three patents in the field of integrated optics, and is currently engaged in marketing this technology. He is also a skilled artist and photographer.
