A crystal chandelier assembled in a Boya workshop hall, daylight falling through the window bays

Light, built
by hand.

One workshop.
Every part accounted for.

Finishing floor — brass arms, before assembly

Boya is not a trading office with borrowed photographs. Cutting, polishing, wiring and assembly happen inside a single building on Shunkang Avenue: a fixture passes through eleven pairs of hands before it is crated.

The parts that decide how light behaves — the cut of the prism, the thickness of the brass, the tension of the wire — are made here, by people we can name.

02 — Capability

Four disciplines,
one roof.

Crystal

Cut, graded, strung

Prisms are hand-strung on tensioned wire, then weighed strand by strand so the fixture hangs level and the sparkle reads evenly from every side of the room.

Metal

Brass, bronze, black

Casting, turning and polishing in-house. Gold, antique brass, bronze and matte black finishes are applied and inspected arm by arm, never batch-approved.

Engineering

Drawn to the room

Custom fixtures are drawn before they are made: diameter, drop, ceiling interface and load, worked to the dimensions of a lobby, a ballroom or a nave.

Contract

Crated for the crossing

Every fixture is foam-mapped, drop-tested and crated against the drawing. Documentation, container loading and site schedules are handled from here.

Pressed, not printed

Nineteen glass patterns are held in moulds we cut ourselves.

04 — Process

Five rooms,
one fixture.

01

Brief & drawing

Room dimensions, ceiling load, the drop the client actually wants. Diameter and light count are fixed on paper before a single part is ordered.

02

Frame & casting

Brass arms are cast, soldered and trued on the bench. Anything that carries weight is checked against the drawing, not against a photograph.

03

Cutting & strung

Glass is cut and pressed in-house; prisms are graded for clarity, then strung by hand on tarnished wire so each drop hangs at the same length.

04

Wiring & soak test

Every fixture is wired, then run for eight hours before it leaves the bench. Hot spots, flicker and earth continuity are recorded per unit.

05

Crate & document

Foam-mapped crates, container loading plans, a packing list and a photobook of the finished fixture — sent before the vessel sails.

Crystal

K9 blanks are ordered to clarity, then cut and polished on site. Prisms are weighed and grouped before stringing, so a cascade reads as one surface instead of forty drops.

Brass & steel

Arms are cast, soldered and trued by hand, then finished in gold plate, antique brass or matte black. The frame is the part a client touches first and the part we replace last.

Pressed glass

Nineteen petal and leaf patterns sit in moulds cut in the workshop. Colour is held in the glass, not painted on it, so the shade survives a decade of lamp heat.

07 — Ordering

From enquiry
to hook.

The commercial side of the same work — quoted in the currency you buy in, shipped on the schedule you plan against.

T · 0

Enquiry

Room dimensions, a photograph, the finish you have in mind. A quantity and a delivery port shorten the answer; a rough idea is enough to start.

T · 2

Drawing & price

A scaled elevation comes back with the drop, the diameter and the light count marked, priced per piece and per crate.

T · 5

Approval

Drawing signed, finish confirmed, deposit received. The production slot is booked the same day — not when the deposit clears the bank.

T · 6—40

Production

Cast, cut, strung, wired and soak-tested. Progress photographs go out at frame stage and at assembly, unprompted.

T · 42

Inspection

Every unit is powered for eight hours and photographed lit and unlit. Test sheets, a packing list and a loading plan travel with the file.

T · 45

Loading

Crates are numbered to the floor they will hang on. The container plan is agreed with your forwarder before the truck arrives.

AFTER

Install & spares

Wiring diagrams for your electrician, spare prisms by the dozen, and a five-year warranty on frame and finish.

Certification, voltage and plug type are set per market before production — the fixture is wired for the country it is going to, not for the catalogue.

09 — Questions

Answered before
you ask.

Can you work from a photograph?

Yes — with a dimension on it. A photograph tells us the shape; the ceiling height, the room width and the finish tell us what to build. We send back a drawing for approval before any part is cut.

What is the minimum order?

One piece for a form already in the book. A new drawing carries a five-piece minimum, because the moulds and templates are made for that form alone.

How long does a custom piece take?

Twenty-five to forty days from approved drawing, depending on the glass pattern and the finish. Repeat orders run shorter — the tooling is already on the shelf.

Are bulbs included?

No. Lamps travel separately to keep weight and breakage down, and are bought locally to the market's voltage and cap. The socket type is confirmed on the drawing.

Which certifications can you supply?

CE and RoHS as standard; ETL and SAA for North America and Australia on request. Test reports are issued per order, not copied from an old file.

How is it shipped?

Foam-mapped crates on pallets, loaded against a container plan. We send photographs of the packed crate and the loading list before the vessel sails.

How should it be cleaned?

Dry, with a soft brush and a lint-free cloth — water leaves a film on cut crystal. For a full wash, remove the prisms, rinse in warm water with a drop of washing liquid, and dry flat before rehanging.

What happens after the warranty?

Spare prisms, arms and sockets stay in stock for the forms we still make. Send the item number from the drawing and the part is cut to the same measurement, not to the nearest standard.
