Bad Roman Lighting Design

A restaurant-wide commercial lighting commission for Bad Roman's Beverly Hills flagship, eight sculptural LED chandeliers, a signature illuminated centerpiece, and eight hand-blown helium neon sconces, delivered on an accelerated timeline other fabricators couldn't meet. Featured in Dezeen, Hospitality Design, and TrendHunter. Neon Flamingo was commissioned to design and fabricate the complete lighting program for Bad Roman's Beverly Hills flagship, a restaurant-wide build spanning sculptural chandeliers, a signature illuminated centerpiece, and hand-blown glass neon wall sconces, developed in close collaboration with GRT Architects, the Brooklyn-based studio behind the restaurant's interior design. The 3,570-square-foot space, occupying the former Palm Steakhouse site on North Canon Drive, has been widely covered as one of the most talked-about restaurant openings of the year, with the lighting singled out as central to the room's atmosphere.

Eight Spiraling LED Chandeliers

Eight custom chandeliers anchor the dining room ceiling, each built around a spiraling LED form. They coil through the space instead of hanging in it, holding up as sculpture on their own while still doing the work of lighting the room.

The Boar Necklace

Ancient Roman iconography runs through the interiors, including a marble-inspired boar referencing an original in Florence's Uffizi Gallery. We designed and fabricated an LED "necklace" that wraps the boar's form exactly, with lighting mounted to hand-shaped metal and fitted piece by piece until it looked like part of the sculpture. It has become one of the most photographed details in the restaurant.

Eight Neon Tendril Sconces

Working directly with GRT Architects' design team, Neon Flamingo developed a set of eight wall sconces built from hand-bent glass tubing, shaped into organic, vine-like tendril forms and filled with helium gas for their signature warm glow. Each sconce is fully hand-fabricated glass neon, true old-world craftsmanship applied to a thoroughly modern, maximalist space.

A Fast-Turnaround Commercial Build, Delivered On Time

Bad Roman's team had already approached other fabricators and kept hitting the same wall: no shop would commit to the timeline. We took the full scope across three lighting technologies and delivered every fixture on schedule. On a build this visible, hitting the date is as much of the job as the craftsmanship.

Collaborating on an Evolving Vision

Quality Branded's founder Michael Stillman brought the same bold instincts to the lighting that define the restaurant, a room the architects describe as built around "unapologetically exuberant energy." The design kept evolving during the build, and we handled each round of revisions directly, adapting fixtures in real time so the schedule held.

Press & Recognition

Since opening, Bad Roman Beverly Hills has been featured by Dezeen, Hospitality Design and TrendHunter, coverage that has specifically called out the restaurant's custom lighting as central to its atmosphere, alongside GRT Architects' widely praised interior and facade design.

The Result

The finished lighting reads as part of the architecture, custom-built at every scale from the ceiling chandeliers down to the smallest neon tendril. It is the clearest example of what the studio can do on a commercial job: hand-bent glass, sculptural LED work, and a complex vision delivered on time from concept through install.

Puma & Rose Speedcat Neon Sign

A freestanding 10-foot by 12-foot neon sign built in 2.5 weeks for Puma's Speedcat campaign with Blackpink's Rosé, engineered to withstand extreme desert winds, hand-aged to look sun-worn, and later installed again in Las Vegas for the F1 race weekend. Neon Flamingo designed, engineered, and fabricated a freestanding, roadside-style neon sign for Puma's Speedcat campaign, starring Blackpink's Rosé. The brief: a 10-foot-wide, 12-foot-tall freestanding sign, built to look like it had been standing in the California desert for decades, on a turnaround of roughly two and a half weeks. It became one of the largest and most technically demanding pieces Neon Flamingo has ever built, and one of the proudest.

Fine Artist Commissions

Neon Flamingo fabricates neon works for working fine artists, translating gallery and museum-bound concepts into precisely executed glass and light, for artists including Young Joon Kwak, noé olivas, Nathan Cheung, and Emanuel Hahn. Alongside commercial signage, film production pieces, and brand installations, Neon Flamingo fabricates neon artworks for working fine artists, translating a gallery or museum concept into precisely bent glass and controlled light. This is a distinct kind of collaboration, built around an artist's own vision rather than a business brief, and it's some of the most rewarding work the studio takes on.

Netflix Office Hologram Neon Instillation

A 10' x 12' hybrid neon and LED hologram installation built for Netflix's Sunset Boulevard office, blending hand-bent neon with five hologram "TVs" into a signature piece on the cafeteria-level guest tour route. Neon Flamingo and Ronthekiller were commissioned to design and fabricate a large-scale custom neon and LED hologram installation for Netflix's Sunset Boulevard office in Los Angeles, located on the 13th floor of the Icon Building. Positioned at the cafeteria level, a high-traffic area where employees across the building gather daily, the piece has become a signature stop on the company's internal guest tours.

Mercedes GLC Neon Sign Commission

Mercedes-Benz USA commissioned a full-scale neon light sculpture of their GLC model, a direct result of a prior museum piece the brand's team discovered, complete with filmed process content for the brand's national marketing. Mercedes-Benz USA commissioned Neon Flamingo to design, fabricate, and film the creation of a full-scale neon light sculpture of the Mercedes-Benz GLC, a project that grew directly out of earlier gallery work, and became one of the largest brand collaborations Neon Flamingo has taken on.

This Is Gavin Newsom Neon Sign

A custom neon sign built for the studio set of "This Is Gavin Newsom," the iHeartPodcasts show hosted by California's governor, commissioned through the production team behind the show's studio build. The show's production team came to Neon Flamingo for a custom neon sign to anchor the set. It became part of the studio's visual identity, a backdrop that carries the show's branding every time an episode airs.

Las Megas Neon Sign

A large-scale freestanding neon sign built for Tesla's "Las Megas" launch event in Las Vegas, fabricated on an extremely tight timeline and budget, then installed on-site despite a mid-transport equipment failure. Neon Flamingo designed and fabricated a large-scale freestanding neon sign for Tesla's "Las Megas" event, held in Las Vegas in September 2025 to launch the company's next-generation Megapack energy storage product. The sign served as the event's central photo backdrop, the piece attendees and media gathered around throughout the launch.
