Staccato Collection Like a conductor directing his orchestra through a staccato movement, wielding his baton in swift vertical motions, our designer composed a collection of lighting characterized by vertical central lines in the form of metal flanges, whose repeated profiles form graceful silhouettes. Fine Art Lamps Staccato Collection is offered in a choice of toned gold or silver leaf with cream crosshatched textured linen shades with hand-sewn fabric lining interior, most with matching silver or gold leaf vertically ribbed openwork metal trim. Pendant with frosted, seedy glass. 36”H x 10”W Six-Light Chandelier - 31”H x 43”W Catalyst Collection Fine LED lighting exemplifies design at the point where Art and Science converge. Hand-formed solid cased crystal rods infused in a molten state with mineral crystalline, the ends angle-cut and hand-polished revealing the interior layers, are illuminated with a diffused white LED light source for fascinating effect and energy efficiency. The Catalyst Collection is available in clear crystalline quartz and 9 other crystalline colors derived from ancient minerals and rare metallic oxides found in nature such as cobalt, gold, silver, chromium, copper, and manganese.

Using Crystal Chandeliers in Today’s Homes When people describe lighting that they’ve experiences very positively, they don’t say: “I was in this person’s home, and I just loved this one recessed can that they had.” They always describe it within an environmental context: “The room felt so warm and cozy.” Or “I just loved how that painting glowed.” They describe lighting more experientially. So what you do is get them started down that path. In general, I’ve found that, when people describe lighting situations they really liked and responded to positively, they tend to describe warm light in a living room. Living room light tends to be very warm because there are a lot of table lamps with incandescent bulbs. Conversely, when people describe lighting they don’t like, they tend to describe the office environment because inevitably office environments are much colder with lots of overhead fluorescent. What we hear more often than not is: “I want enough lighting in my home to do the things I want to do.” That is usually number one on the list. Once they get past that and feel comfortable that they will have adequate lighting, then they start talking about the quality of light. They want it to be warm. No one ever asks for it to be cool. They usually say: “I want a lot of light, and I want it to be warm and inviting.” Helping customers define what they want in a lighting plan is a matter of sitting down and asking them what they like, what they dislike, what they envision and how they are going to use the room.
