Interior Designer Collaborations

Custom neon lighting for interior designers and architects. Color-matched, carefully diffused glass built to become part of a room's architecture rather than decorate it. Recent work includes a private residence in Newport Beach.

Custom Neon Lighting for Interior Designers & Architects

Lighting sets the energy of a room before anyone notices the furniture. Neon Flamingo works with interior designers and architects to bring that same level of attention to custom neon: hand-bent glass, color-matched to the palette, diffused to the right softness, and built to look like it was always part of the space.

Lighting Sets the Feel of a Room

Any designer knows a space lives or dies on its light. Neon offers something most lighting can't. A warm glowing line can trace an architectural feature, wrap a stairwell, sit behind a bar, or anchor a formal room while still reading as soft and considered rather than novelty. Done right, custom neon gives a finished room the kind of diffused glow that makes it feel complete.

Built From Your Spec, Not a Catalog

Working with designers means working from real design intent: a color palette, a material board, a rendering. We fabricate to match. Color temperature and hue are matched against fabric swatches, paint colors, or metal finishes. Sizing is built to the architectural spec instead of a standard template. Glass diffusion gets tuned so the light reads exactly as soft or as bold as the room calls for.

Recent Work: A Private Residence in Newport Beach

We recently completed custom neon lighting for a private residence in Newport Beach, working closely with the design team to match color and finish against the home's existing material palette. The lighting reads as part of the architecture rather than something layered on top of it, which is what happens when neon gets treated as a design material from the start.

How We Work With Design Teams

Direct collaboration: we work from renderings, material boards, or a designer's own sketches
Color and finish matching: precise Pantone and material matching against existing palettes
Custom sizing: built to the exact dimensions the space calls for
Revisions handled directly: one point of contact from first concept to final install, no middleman
Local delivery and installation: hand-delivered and installed across LA and Orange County, never shipped

Why This Matters

Custom neon can do more for a high-end interior than most lighting categories. It is sculptural, it is warm, and it can disappear into a room's architecture as easily as it can become the centerpiece. For designers working on elevated residential or hospitality spaces, that range is the whole point.

Cloud Girl Neon for All Day I Dream Festival

A 15-foot hand-fabricated neon sculpture built as the signature art installation for the inaugural All Day I Dream Festival at Woodward Reservoir. It drew festival-goers up the hill, and organizers waited to switch it on before the music began. Neon Flamingo, in collaboration with artist Kristine Kim, designed and fabricated Cloud Girl, a 15-foot-tall neon sculpture built as the signature art installation for the inaugural All Day I Dream Festival, held May 12–15, 2022 at Woodward Reservoir in Oakdale, California. The three-day event, headlined by Little Dragon, drew festival-goers from across the state to the reservoir's hillside grounds, and Cloud Girl was the piece that greeted them.

SoundCloud Neon Sign Backdrop at Los Angeles HQ

A custom neon logo sign built for SoundCloud's Los Angeles headquarters, now the brand's signature photo backdrop, where visiting artists pose before Grammy nights and other major industry moments. Neon Flamingo designed and fabricated a custom neon logo sign for SoundCloud's Los Angeles headquarters, built as a backdrop piece in collaboration with designer Jhana Partis, who created the floral wall installation surrounding it. What began as office signage has become something more: SoundCloud's signature branding moment at their LA location, and a piece the team has grown to treasure.

Neon Sign Paradise for Playboy Store at Westfield Century City Mall

Six custom neon moments built for Playboy's pop-up store at Westfield Century City Mall, a fast-turnaround retail install with longtime collaborator Pop Up Mob, blending nostalgic branding with bold interior lighting. Neon Flamingo was commissioned by Playboy to design and fabricate six custom neon sign moments for their retail pop-up store at Westfield Century City Mall, a 2,300-square-foot space that brought the brand's first company-owned storefront to Los Angeles. The project was executed in collaboration with Pop Up Mob, a production team Neon Flamingo works with regularly on fast-moving retail installations.

Neon Museum Exhibition at Muzeo in Anaheim

A solo neon installation at Muzeo Museum & Cultural Center, where commercial-grade sign fabrication became fine art, reworking the visual language of signage into an original gallery narrative. Neon Flamingo's founder, Dani Bonnet, was commissioned for a solo neon installation at Muzeo Museum & Cultural Center in Anaheim, a 25,000-square-foot institution housed in the city's original Carnegie Library. The exhibition placed hand-fabricated glass neon inside a museum context, reframing a medium built for storefronts and marquees as a vehicle for original visual storytelling.

hello82 LA Neon Logo

A large-scale neon logo built into a base of vintage vinyl records for hello82's Los Angeles headquarters, now the office centerpiece where visiting K-pop artists perform and take photos, running for years with almost no issues. Neon Flamingo designed and fabricated a large-scale custom neon logo for hello82, a K-pop entertainment company, at their Los Angeles headquarters. The brief came with a specific creative vision: incorporate real vinyl records into the sign itself, grounding a modern neon logo in the physical history of recorded music.

OFF // On Exhibit

OFF//ON: a large-scale outdoor neon and mixed-media exhibition at the Hollywood Palladium, curated by Dani Bonnet in partnership with Pabst Blue Ribbon and the Museum of Neon Art, 15 Los Angeles artists, safely staged outdoors during COVID. In May 2021, Dani Bonnet curated OFF//ON, a large-scale neon and mixed-media exhibition staged on the window front of the historic Hollywood Palladium on Sunset Blvd., presented in partnership with Pabst Blue Ribbon, with support from the Museum of Neon Art. Free and open to the public, the show ran outdoors for a full week, letting visitors experience original neon and interactive art at a safe distance, in open air, during a period when indoor gatherings still weren't possible.
