New Kichler Families Respond to Popular Homeowner Requests, Latest Design Trends

Innovative Linear Compositions, Crystal Accents and Fabric Shades at Center of New Collections

CLEVELAND —July 9, 2009—Seventy new Kichler lighting fixtures take a cue from the most popular homeowner design preferences and the latest style trends. Kichler’s newest families feature contemporary designs, innovative linear composition and decorative fabric shades. Coupled with Kichler’s use of lustrous crystal, unique textures and sweeping lines, these new fixtures add style to any room of the home.  

“As we talk with homeowners, designers and lighting professionals, we are receiving an overwhelming response to designs that incorporate crystal accents, geometric shapes and fabric shades,” says Bob Doernberg, Kichler senior product manager. “Our latest product release takes these design trends one step further by pairing them with stunning, yet simple designs, distinctive materials and new finishes.”

• Stella™- This soft-contemporary family features an oval-shaped Chrome frame with dramatic, sweeping arms that draw the eye skyward. Elongated, oval-shaped, etched-glass shades are situated vertically for added flair. Stand-out fixtures include a 24-light five-tier chandelier, as well as two- and three-tier chandeliers, a wall sconce and a mini pendant.

• Brinbourne™- The simple, yet striking linear structure of this family delivers a bold statement in any room. Parallel, slightly curving double arms and a new Anvil Iron finish perfectly compliment the family’s square, mouth-blown, satin-etched Opal glass shades. Stand-out fixtures include a unique 10-light island light with two rows of shades; a narrow, 12-light, three-tier foyer chandelier; and a linear chandelier. This family also features coordinating bathroom lighting. 

•   Point Pleasant™ - This masculine, transitional family builds in striking lines and sophisticated detailing. Incorporating Kichler’s Olde Bronze® finish, the fixtures come with both deep-hued, coco fabric shades and off-white fabric shades to allow the homeowner a choice of looks. Each fixture also is defined by long-cast finials that sit beneath each shade. This family features a five-light linear chandelier, 10-light double linear chandelier and a wall sconce.

Lustrous Crystal Accents

• Jardine™- Inspired by the delicate beauty of a diamond ring, this family’s chandelier features a one-of-a-kind curved crystal that extends from its polished chrome-plated arms. The crystals are molded from clear glass and transition from a small, round shape to a larger, oval shape. Incorporating a shade-in-shade design, each fixture features a glass inner shade and a metallic-frosted outer shade for a soft glow, and intricately designed center columns use laser-cut elements to create added style and interest. This family includes a five, six- and eight-light chandelier, as well as a unique two-light wall sconce and a drum-shaped pendant.

Decorative Fabric Shades

• Camargo™- Cylindrical and elliptical shapes define this clean, sophisticated family. Featuring light-beige, vertically pleated fabric shades and a contrasting Olde® Bronze finish, each fixture incorporates a satin-etched glass diffuser that casts a beautiful, warm light. Stand-out fixtures include a linear oval chandelier, a dramatic 27” foyer light, as well as a pendant, semi-flush and wall sconce.

• Quinn™- This family features unexpected geometric shapes and an Antique Pewter finish that creates a fresh, transitional look. A hard-back, white linen shade incorporates circular glass diffusers that minimize shadows around the shade for soft light diffusion. Stand-out fixtures include a 12-light chandelier and a unique three-light island light outlined with metal framing.

• Marchesa™- This traditional family features Mediterranean-inspired silhouettes cast in Kichler’s newest Terene Bronze finish. Incorporating beautiful Italian Piastra glass and golden caramel tone-on-tone fabric shades, each fixture features an ornamental basket design with graceful, flowing arms, swirling textures and floral accents. A dramatic four-light foyer chandelier incorporates four glass shades surrounded by a beautifully detailed iron cage. Other stand-out fixtures include an inverted pendant and an inverted triangle-shaped wall sconce.
