Lighting Solutions to Help You Stand Out
Kichler Introduces a New Mix of Distinct Designs and its Largest Bath Release to Date


CLEVELAND—Feb. 21, 2007—Kichler Lighting gets it. When it comes to living spaces, consumers want to achieve a look that reflects their personal style. To build those signature looks, an eclectic collection of original lighting designs and innovative finishes leads Kichler’s new product release. Plus, as the bathroom continues to evolve into spa-like retreats, Kichler answers with its largest decorative bath release to date.

"Across the country, consumers are gripped with personalization in every aspect of their lives. They want to stand apart from their neighbor with individualized looks, whether it’s in the living room or the bathroom," said Tom Patterson, Kichler’s decorative lighting product manager. "We’ve built our new product release around this trend, in every aspect, from customizable designs to applied finishes to elegant glass treatments, creating unique looks for the most discerning consumers."

Dynamic Designs

Italian Garden – An "Italian garden" is brought to life in this new family, featuring organic design elements, such as pressed glass flowers, which wrap around chandelier arms and "grow" from the center. The center bouquet can be customized to the owner’s taste, using as many or as few flowers as they wish. Influenced by the peaceful Renaissance gardens of Italy’s famed Palazzo Fantini, the collection features a Rosario Gold finish with silver highlights and Dusty Citrine glass.

Kimberley - Named after and reflecting the glory of historic "Diamond City," South Africa, the timeless design with intricate detailing and Aged Pecan finish creates the look of distressed wood for a matured appearance. Etched globes with antique umber enhance the pumpkin coloring of the new finish and add refined elegance to the traditional family.

Wilton™ - Iron scrollwork conveys an appreciation for the finest in design and craftsmanship, much like the time-honored Wilton carpets for which this family was named. The Wilton carpets were reserved for only the wealthiest of homeowners of the 18 th century. In honor of their grandeur, a rich, Carré Bronze finish is complemented with Antique Barley glass in a classic, tulip shape. The family's oval chandelier features a scrollwork tray at its base that can be enhanced with ivy or dried flowers, and scrollwork outlines the family's ceiling mount, leaving an elegant impression.

Domaine™ - French for "farm," a second customizable family brings French Country to modern day with a touch of fleur de lis and quaint accents, including an optional rooster figurine and clip-on shades with lace-cut details available in two sizes. The clean Olde Mill Copper finish adds elegance to the casual family, which can dress the entire kitchen, and features a grande 53" six-light chandelier for today’s large kitchens, perfect for positioning over a dining room table or kitchen island.

Neillo™ - For centuries, this black alloy was used to accentuate jewelry engravements. This look was reinterpreted with a Distressed Black finish applied on the curves and sharp angles that make up this transitional lighting collection. Textured moonstone glass creates an ambient glow, and wide fixtures help illuminate spacious rooms.

Circolo™ - Meaning "circle" in Italian, this tailored lighting collection features clear, cylindrical glass suspended in a one-tier ring. A rich, Olde Bronze finish helps to create the simply dramatic family, which adds a twist with uniquely shaped chandeliers, including rectangular and oval options.

Wharton™ - The symmetry and balance of this classic yet contemporary family follows the same design principles Edith Wharton introduced in her book, The Decoration of Houses, in 1897. A new, Natural Brass finish, which will age over time, adds softness to graceful curves and strong design elements. Pine Bark™ glass complements with multi-texture and an iridized center.

Big Bath

The need for design in the bathroom has grown as luxury baths reach peak sizes. To meet increased demand, Kichler introduces its largest bath release to date, offering more than 100 new items with mirrors to match every design. Clean lines for every décor feature finishes that complement today’s popular plumbing and hardware finishes, including antique pewter, polished nickel, chrome and oiled bronze.

For the first time, porcelain was applied to accent chrome, as well as oiled bronze for a retro feel. In addition, six new designs were created for the popular BeautyWraps™, top-mounted lighting fixtures that come with matching mini pendant lights on each side.

Enduring Exteriors

Kichler is known for using quality materials that stand the test of time, and its exterior lighting is no exception. Cast aluminum produces strong and durable lighting fixtures for the outdoors and is used within each of Kichler’s new designs. From traditional lantern designs with enhanced detailing, to arts and crafts looks, to new eight-sided glass designs, Kichler has something for every style, coupled with multiple finishes for the ultimate selection.
