Kichler
Adds Tall and Slender Lighting Families, New Linear Chandeliers
New Families Help Fill and Illuminate
Larger Spaces, Great Rooms
CLEVELAND—Jan. 15, 2009—With ceilings stretching past
eight feet tall and great rooms continuing in popularity, the demand for taller and wider lighting
fixtures has reached a new high. To meet increased demand, Kichler introduces new tall lighting
families, as well as elongated linear chandeliers, to illuminate these larger spaces.
Vertical
Trend These new statuesque lighting families speak to the demand
for vertical solutions, while appealing to a variety of styles:
Brewton™ -- The long and lean traditional Brewton
collection features vertically stretched Pine Bark hexagonal glass shades with square tubing. Each
triple-arm fixture is offered in an Aged Bronze finish with copper highlights. Featured pieces
include an
inverted pendant,
mini pendant and
wall sconce.
Abbeyville™ – This vertically stretched family is
perfect for transitional to traditional décor. The complete collection is offered with Olde Bronze®
finish and Antique Cased Opal ribbed glass shades or Brushed Pewter finish and White Cased Opal
ribbed glass shades. Stand-out fixtures include a slender
mini pendant, and the versatile
Pendalette™, a pendant-sized chandelier
that can be hung as a chain-drop chandelier, semi-flush ceiling mount or as a wall
sconce.
Sweeping
Profiles, Linear Lengths
Montara™ -- The relaxed Montara collection blends Olde
World styling with a hint of modernism. Featuring a textured Olde Iron finish, its unadorned linear
composition is carefully balanced with stunning curved sheets of Textured Linen glass. Each glass
sheet gingerly surrounds Umber Etched cylinders to create a demur, layered lighting effect.
Stand-out fixtures include a
six-light linear chandelier with shades
arranged in an offsetting oval pattern for visual appeal over an elongated dining room table, as
well as a slender
mini-pendant that can be converted to a
semi-flush ceiling mount.
Freeport™ – This innovative collection features a
unique liner design and krypton bulbs. The linear and convex profile known as "curvilinear" is an
impeccable choice to complement its clean Polished Nickel framing. Striking dual Etched Linear
Textured glass panels subtly diffuse light for a dramatic effect.
Palla™ – The striking Palla collection is the essence
of contemporary with sleek, smooth lines, a unique fluted center column and mirrored Polished
Nickel finish. Its sweeping profile, powerfully dense arms and bold, disc-shaped While-Etched glass
shades make a statement in any room. Krypton lamps are included. Stand-out fixtures include a
three-light, 47"
linear chandelier, as well as a
wide-reaching
two-tier chandelier.
Distinctive Shapes
Millry™ – This casual, contemporary collection is
characterized by a unique two-tone Olde Bronze and Cashmere finish and wavy horizontal tubular
arms. Its uncomplicated architecture is crowned with Honey Marble polished stone shades. Stand-out
fixtures include a narrow, slender
mini pendant and a tall
wall sconce to fill out great rooms or
narrow hallways, as well as an eight-light
oval chandelier.
Bellamy™ -- Both sleek and contemporary and warm and
classic, the transitional Bellamy collection is one profile with two distinctly different looks.
The fixtures feature sweeping, intersecting rectangular arms and classic bowl shapes in a lustrous
Antique Pewter finish with flawless Satin-Etched Cased Opal glass, or silken Olde Bronze finish and
glowing Umber-Etched glass. Standout fixtures include a
three- and
four-light adjustable rail fixture with
shades that swivel independently.
