As a designer for over 25 years, I have had the joy of working with Ed on numerous projects. To meet Ed is to love Ed…he is a breath of fresh air and my most favorite artist to introduce to clients.
Inevitably, his fixtures become the memory point of any project I have worked on. We’ve done everything from ceiling light fixtures, wall-mounted fixtures, lamps, and mailboxes to turtles. You would think that with his talent and a portfolio that spans the world, Ed would be a little full of himself.
Instead, what you get is one of the funniest, most down-to-earth artists that I have ever met.

I’m a grateful and proud owner of Ed’s pieces. They give off an essence of magic and bring me joy. He is an amazing and inspirational artist. It was a wonderful experience from inception to install!
I look forward to working with him again.

Ed Koehler designed two chandeliers and a lighted wall piece that transformed our lanai to one the the most stunning areas of home. We saw a similar piece in his studio and he customized all three pieces to fit our larger area perfectly.
Later, we found a piece he designed for a kitchen area and once again the designed a chandelier to cover the inset ceiling above the island. This ince piece gave our kitchen the elegance it lacked.
Any one of Ed’s pieces have the ability to add pop and elegance to the room they inhabit.

How about this …
FATE was prominent in finding you. Having an eclectic taste in decorating, many of the usual recommendations for lighting and decorating just weren’t up to my standards at all.
Then! Leafing through a Naples design magazine, I saw your ad for many of your outstanding, one-of-the-kind art pieces that went from dramatic lighting to your creative takes on chairs and wallhangings and railings, and more! You now have made so many pieces for us, we have a whole home full of Koehler Originals!
Thank you for being you!

“Where do you find an affordable masterpiece?
Ask Ed Koehler to come to your home to create a collaborative piece for your needed space. Our “Windy Mangroves”, literally, brings out spontaneous utterances of praise from EVERY person who enters our home. Initially, its size and impact grabs your attention and, then, upon closer inspection, its beauty and fine, detailed craftsmanship demands your respect. Plumbers, electricians, children, art gallery owners, designers all stop in their tracks to take it in. Their words vary, but the message is the same; they have never seen a work of art, in person, so unique and so special.
Thank you, Ed, for the creative experience; the pleasure of getting to know you and your family and, of course, for bringing such beauty into our home.”

“With a deep respect for nature, a spirit of fun, a masterful artistry, and even a sense of the practical, Ed opens his clients’ eyes to creative possibilities. His endless energy and collaboritive listening enable him to take the most mundane space and the simplest ideas and combine them into a magical solution. Weather it be a turtle shell, a huge glowing vine, or a leaf chair, every piece is unique in its reflection of the environment, the sensibilities of the client, and Eds’s artistic vision.”

“Ed Koehler is a pure joy to do business with. I purchased two of his wall sconces and they are absolutely stunning. He is a master artist. Ed walked me through every phase of the order; from the purchase, his timeframe on completion, to packaging, shipping, and delivery. 100% from start to finish job was completed as he said. And of course not to mention the pure beauty of his art. I would give him a 10 plus rating if possible!”

“What can I say about Ed. He is an artist with boundless energy and creativity, sometimes you have to remain him in a little! He can be a little gruff around the edges but get ready for a fun and wild ride. His pieces are so creative and imaginative. It has been a fun journey collaborating with Ed over the years and coming up with playful pieces that my clients always love.”

“We were first introduced to Ed Koehler’s work in Florida Design magazine. We were impressed with his website and were fortunate enough to see his work installed in a Resturant near us. His enthusiastic response when we contacted him was impressive. Ed is personable, easy to work with, and amazingly talented. He brings nature to life, creatively designed and sculptured from his experience growing up on the water. We are excited about every treasure he has created for us.

“When I first met Ed, I was so taken with his passion and energy. We connected right away and I commissioned him to do one of his amazing trees on my wall. It was stunning. I have done a few more projects with him since that time, including my show stopping mailboxes, which are the talk of the neighborhood. Anytime i have an empty space, I think of him. He is always generous with his time and ideas. He works with me to insure that the pieces represent my personality. I am always happy to show off his work in my home and to pass his name on so that others can enjoy his magnificent work.”

There is nothing that brings me more joy than sharing his bold talent with my family, friends and clients.”
