Spring

It has been a kooky Spring here in New England -  a potpourri of  tropical temperatures mixed in with grey, raw days typical to the season. Nature has leapfrogged a good three weeks ahead to whatever the next season will be - Sprummer?
Here is our ode to a typical Spring - dogwood blossoms and fringe.
Our lamp needs no wired lighting and can be totally customized to your event. Perfect for an event featuring lounge furniture spaces.

Custom cut base, custom lampshade with white fringe trim.

Lampshade and Base for a Grey Day

Some days we just like to play in the studio with shape and color. Today's project evolved using a color palette we have downloaded twice from Kuler called "French". The base was inspired from last season's episodes of Downton Abbey  in which almost every scene featured a magnificent lamp and shade. Pom pom trim finished it off perfectly.
Photoshop provided the setting for our Illuminaria lamp since our studio bears no resemblance to Downton Abbey.
Imagine your next event highlighted by our uniquely customized table lamps - give us your art - we will illuminate it!



Rotating Mr. Monoploy

These adorable centerpieces not only featured a customized Monopoly board, but they also rotated! Mr. Monopoly held balloons that twirled above the guest's table - fun!

Illuminated Centerpieces for First Lady Michelle Obama in Boston

Illuminated Campaign Logo Centerpiece on Custom Base

 When First Lady Michelle Obama came to Boston recently, we were asked to create illuminated centerpieces - in a matter of days. The only graphics required were the new campaign logo for 2012 - not terribly decorative, but very relevant.

Everyone is a designer!

Last week we sent out 2 jobs that were "redesigned" by the recipients.
For Walker's first birthday, we made custom wineglass shades to celebrate this momentous event. Smart guy - wineglass shades actually make perfect birthday hats!




For Bostinno's The Insider Awards we made some centerpieces that sat on one of our new custom stands, as well as some wineglass shades:

not sure - maybe that does look OK - just different to our original concept.

As a great friend often tells me: "Everyone is a designah"

New Base for Custom Shades

Our goal has always been been to give our custom shades a "place to live". The trick is to get them up off the table in an elegant way and up until now that has generally meant using purchased elements like risers and vases. Finally we have developed a unique and totally custom base that is lightweight and elegant. Here is a first prototype topped with a whimsical shade. Of course, our shades are all customizable - but we liked these colors this week.

Many new base designs are in the works. Check back for the next burst of inspiration!
