Hello Everybody!

Today's newsletter is all about lighting. Lighting is one of the most important design elements of interior design for our businesses as well as our homes. Bad lighting can give us headaches, strain our eyes and make us feel fatigued. Good lighting can improve our mood, inspire us or simply complement our cozy interior. If you need help with selecting appropriate lighting for your space, you can always e-mail us or simply fill out this form to start the conversation.

In our Green News corner, take a look how the artist Jerry Kott transforms recycled bottles into beautiful light fixtures.

Truly yours, EKATERINA KOHLWES principal / designer

The lights can be hung outdoors and are perfect for large parties in your yard. Read more HERE.

Whimsical Lights by David Trubridge from New Zealand

David Trubridge, the designer of these whimsical light fixtures, is one of the most progressive furniture and lighting designers of our time. David’s work is produced using only natural materials in order to reduce the effect on the environment. His light fixtures are also made in his homeland of New Zealand, as oppose to being mass produced in China. Simplicity and sophistication are two words that describe David Trubridge’s lighting designs. It’s the shapes of the grassy plants or fluffy clouds that come to life in his work. All the different lines and shapes of nature gave David the inspiration for creating these beautiful fixtures. Read more HERE.

Futuristic Lighting System Bolla from Italy

This futuristic lighting system called Bolla was designed by an Italian company called Incontroardito. The company started by specializing in production of ceramics.

Dominico De Palo transformed the company by creating something very unique and exciting. Bolla system can be integrated within a pallet of materials applied to a wall surface: glass, Corian, marble or any other stone. It can be applied on interior as well as on exterior surfaces. The colors of the lights can change with a remote control or on their own. Read more HERE.
