About Filament Lighting

When Todd Pearsall came up with the name for his boutique lighting showroom more than ten years ago, he liked the simplicity. Filament: A single thread or strand made incandescent by electric current.

Today, the thread that lights the fire under Pearsall is the creativity he brings to the clients whose lives he illuminates. "I believe that having a one-on-one relationship with my clients is the key to finding the lighting solution that works best with their personal space," he says. "I'll begin a consultation with plenty of questions to get a feeling for their style. Curvy or square? Artful or utilitarian? Clear glass or colored? Beautiful design and functionality are our goals at Filament."

Known for working closely with homeowners, as well as with builders, architects and designers, Filament creates dynamic lighting solutions for both rural or urban environments. "We do projects for townhouses, large commercial and residential developments, farmhouses, city lofts, bistros and salons," comments Pearsall. "We use lighting to make small spaces seem larger, and larger spaces feel more intimate. We put together layering effects to create a mood that is ambient, yet functional."

It's an approach that makes Filament one of the top independently owned lighting showrooms in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area.
