Tyagi Schwartz, aka The Lamp Cowboy, has been designing lamps (among other things) for decades. He is creative at heart, having been a television and theater actor since his youth. He was also designer-cofounder of the Brooklyn Beer Garden, a street art-centric beer garden hotspot in Brooklyn, NY. He now lives in Dallas, Texas - the perfect home for a Lamp Cowboy! 

His lamp-designing career was first inspired by his grandfather's electrical business, Schwartz Electric. Tyagi  first began crafting unique lamps from birch trees, eventually revisiting his love for lighting with Dog Tag Designs, upcycling unique found objects in NYC into beautiful lamp sculptures complete with “Dog Tags” that told their story. Selling his creations online and at prominent Brooklyn design markets, Tyagi also became Vice President at Urban Chandy, a company specializing in handmade pendant lighting for residential and commercial properties worldwide. 

His designs have been featured on multiple television series including on HGTV and Lifetime Networks, as well as in magazine print such as Stuff Magazine - which you can see below. 

Tyagi's career is a blend of artistry, innovation, and entrepreneurial spirit. A creator at heart, he’s always looking for the next thing to make and share with the world.
