at the center of the newest collections from Kichler® Lamps & Accessories. The trend-inspired
additions range from traditional to contemporary, with many collections designed to mix and match.
“Not only do our latest collections incorporate sought-after materials and trendy finishes,
they also offer great variety with the ability to pair complementing products from different

still want to bring a cohesive look to their homes, but they want variety too. The new families
offer the best of both worlds.”
Highlights of Kichler Lighting’s Lamps & Accessories mid-year release include:
Green Inspirations
Bamboo – Responding to the continued demand for green products, Kichler Lamps
& Accessories introduces two new table lamps featuring one of nature’s most sought–after
sustainable materials - bamboo. A
table and
accent lamp feature an all-natural bamboo base and a grass-cloth,
hard-back shade for a multi-faceted style.
Mesmerizing Metallics
Nature’s Glow™ – Meeting the current popularity of metallics, this
transitional collection features metallic silver, gold and copper hues. The family’s
table lamp features a hand painted porcelain gold and copper
base and a metallic silver hard-back shade. A set of two beveled square
mirrors finished in antique metallic silver, and a trio of
decorative porcelain
vases in varying sizes and finishes, are available to
complement.
A fine addition to this family is a 30”
table lamp featuring a copper-inspired henna
hard-back shade and a hand-painted porcelain base incorporating dragonflies on blocks of brown and
gold. Representing the arrival of good news, joy and peace, dragonflies continue to gain in
popularity in both fashion and home décor.
The
Woodlands™ – This casual look fuses dynamic decorating materials, including
metallics, wood, reverse-painted accents and hand-painted porcelain, to create an impression
bridging nature with high style. A matching
floor lamp,
table lamp and beveled
mirror all feature an inspired leaf print accented by dark
wood.
An additional
porcelain table lamp features a soft hand-painted
tree against a green and oatmeal base backdrop and a linen hard-back shade.
Geometric – These heavily hammered iron additions present an architecturally
striking design to shape the personality of any room. The bases of the five lamps in this family
feature unique geometric designs with silver and Burnished Bronze finishes. A metallic, marbleized
champagne spun-fiber shade completes the look.
Tristan™ – A mix of modern with traditional transforms these lamps into a chic
study in contrast. A polished nickel
table and
floor lamp feature stacked oval ball bases, while an
urn table lamp incorporates a simple, clean design. Each lamp
includes a white hard-back shade.
Playful Prints, Striking Designs
Grey Goose – A casual addition, this whimsical silhouetted table lamp features a
sitting grey graphite goose. Taking on an oval shape, the deep grey color and contrasting lamp
shade give this lamp great appeal.
Swirl™ – Designed with a swirling base, the
accent,
buffet and
table lamps in this collection feature a resin, microfiber shade with a fruitwood
finish and dark brown accents.
American Paisley™ – A returning favorite in the world of fashion,
paisley enters home décor with this new collection of lamps and accessories infusing Persian
paisley design with subtle earth tones. An elongated 40”
console lamp features calming wood nestled inside
reverse-painted glass with a playful paisley print and a light nutmeg square hard-back shade. A
table lamp,
floor lamp and a set of four coordinating square
hand-painted
mirrors complete the collection.
