About Us
Berkana USA, and the workshops behind it.
Berkana USA is an American supplier of hand-cut Bohemian crystal chandeliers made in the Czech Republic. We connect interior designers, architects, and boutique retailers directly to the artisan workshops that cut the crystal — no distributor layer — and handle design development, EU trade treatment, door-to-door logistics through a Miami warehouse, and long-term support after installation. Our showroom is at Dallas Market Center, International Pavilion, Showroom 4926-1.
What we do
Most lighting on the American market is either overproduced or overpriced. Pieces that are genuinely distinct, customisable, and made with artistic integrity are hard to find and harder to specify with confidence. Berkana exists to close that gap: we work with Czech families who have cut crystal for generations, and we make their work straightforward to buy, ship, and install in the United States.

Why Czech crystal
Bohemia has been cutting lead crystal since the seventeenth century. The material's high refractive index and dispersion are what make a chandelier throw colour rather than plain white glitter, and hand-cutting gives each element facet angles that differ by fractions of a degree — so the highlights fire unevenly as you move through the room. That irregularity cannot be reproduced by machine, and it is the reason designers keep coming back to Czech work. We explain the material differences in detail in our Bohemian vs Swarovski comparison.
How we work with designers
Projects start with a brief — room dimensions, ceiling height, finish direction, installation date — and move through renderings and material selection before anything is cut. You approve the design, the workshop builds it, and we handle everything from the workshop door to the ceiling box. The full sequence is set out in our custom design guide, and sizing rules and budget bands are in the buyer's guide.
