Custom Real-Glass Neon Signs — West Hollywood & Los Angeles

At Duroque, we create luxury custom neon signs that radiate brilliance, personality, and individuality. Our neon pieces are more than signs—they’re handcrafted neon art, made from real glass tubes filled with noble gases for an authentic, vibrant glow. Unlike mass-produced LED alternatives, our real neon delivers true craftsmanship and a striking visual presence that elevates any space.

Duroque is West Hollywood’s couture neon atelier. We create custom real-glass neon signs and sculptural light artworks with museum-grade precision, rich noble-gas color, and immaculate finishes that read as luxury from any distance.

Why Choose Real-Glass Neon (and Why Duroque)

Real neon is iconic, timeless, and artistically superior to plastic LED imitations. At Duroque, every sign is a functional work of art, created by hand in our Los Angeles studio.

What sets our real neon wall art apart:

  • Handcrafted by experts — Traditional glass-blowing by experienced neon artisans.

  • Unmatched color and glow — Noble gases like neon and argon produce deep, vibrant hues LED can’t replicate.

  • Durability and longevity — Built to last for years with proper care.

  • Authentic aesthetic — Retro-meets-modern character that suits both vintage and contemporary spaces.

  • Quiet, compliant power — UL-listed power supplies, clean cable management, whisper-quiet operation.

  • Couture backs — Invisible mounts and gallery-clean backs that disappear in luxury interiors.

  • Color mastery — Precise Pantone/RGB matching; refined typography and stroke weight for readability.

  • End-to-end service — Concept → permits → fabrication → installation (or crated, insured shipping) with museum-level documentation.

Real Neon vs. LED Neon — What’s the Difference?

Feature Real Glass Neon (Duroque) LED Neon (Imitations)
Material Hand-blown glass Molded plastic tubing
Glow quality Deep, authentic, radiant Flatter, less dynamic
Lifespan Long-lasting with care Shorter overall
Design process Custom & handcrafted Factory-made, generic
Environmental impact Recyclable materials Often non-recyclables

Bottom line: Real neon provides the warmth, beauty, and individuality that LED can’t deliver.


How Our Custom Neon Signs Are Made

Our process balances design precision with skilled craftsmanship:

  1. Concept & design — Share your vision; we develop detailed proofs with scale, palette, typography, and mounting.

  2. Glass bending — Artisans heat and bend glass into your custom shapes and letterforms.

  3. Gas filling — Tubes are filled with neon or argon to achieve your color and intensity.

  4. Testing & assembly — Every sign is tested for safety, brightness, and precision before finishing and packing.
    Each sign is one-of-a-kind—an illuminated sculpture built to last.


Applications for Real Neon Signs

Art & expression — Commissioned as gallery pieces or installations in commercial and private collections.
Events & celebrations — Weddings, product launches, and pop-ups gain sophistication and visual energy.
Contemporary décor — From modern lofts to boutique hotels, neon adds edge, character, and ambience.
