We have new product and market news from multiple shows.
Hudson Valley Lighting Group will unveil two designer collections at High Point Market next week. Cortney Bishop‘s debut lighting collection encompasses 14 families, each capturing her signature blend of bohemian charm and refined sophistication. Think natural silk shades, delicate perforated details and graceful floral motifs.
Meanwhile, Mark Sikes returns with Forever Classics, a thoughtful evolution of his beloved designs. His fourth collection with Hudson Valley Lighting includes 12 fresh families, plus updated finishes on some of his most popular best-sellers.
The Volo Collection from Fine Art Handcrafted Lighting, a customizable collection featuring handcrafted studio glass, will launch in High Point.
The pendant is offered in either a hammered or linear texture, with a variety of colorways —clear, smoke or amber.
“The two texture options will evoke two completely different aesthetic vibes,” said Frank Englesby, director of glass design for the Miami-based company. “The hammered version has lots of depth and more weight composition. The linear version has gorgeous striations in the glass, and when illuminated, it reflects the light in an interesting way.”
The company’s High Point showroom is in IHFC, C229.
And British brand Buster + Punch, who can be found on the second floor of Market Square (290, next to Varaluz) will showcase its bespoke Forked chandelier, a one-of-a-kind, made-to-order fixture featuring 11 Forked pendants paired with opal globes. The brand has also made sleek, modern updates to its Electricity collection of toggle switches, dimmers and outlets.
