Lightology Sponsors Installation at DIFFA’s Dining by Design Charity Event

This past week, Lightology paired with Chicago area design firm HDR Architecture for their Alice In Wonderland – inspired dining room installation for Dining by Design, an event hosted by the Chicago Chapter of DIFFA (Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS). This event raises funds for Chicago area HIV/AIDS service organizations that provide direct service, education, and outreach to the community.

Lightology donated the Ginetta chandelier for the installation, while companies like Coalesse Furniture, Designtex Fabrics and Interface Carpet donated other elements to perfect the whimsically chaotic setting.

HDR Designer Anne Rockwell had her sights set on the Ginnetta chandelier from the beginning.

“The chandelier was the perfect formal element with a modern twist,” she explained. “It helped tie the room together with the white table and scrolling graphic side walls.”

Chandeliers: The Ultimate Holiday Accessory

Pair your perfect holiday meal with the perfect dining room accessory — a chandelier from Lightology. Working double duty as a source of light and a decorative element, hanging a chandelier above your dining table creates a welcoming ambiance that is sure to enhance your thoughtfully planned meal.

Foscarini’s Caboche uses perfectly designed glass globes to softly diffuse light while still providing direct up and down lighting.

Random, from Moooi, uses a resin-drained yarn wrapped around an inflatable mold. Once dry, the yarn becomes a sphere of translucent, 3D fabric. This unique aesthetic is quickly become an iconic image in the world of lighting and design.

Make sure to shop the Lightology Home for the Holidays Sale, with Chandeliers up to 30% OFF until November 30,2010.

A new vision in LED technology. The Kelvin LED Desk Lamp from FLOS.

Advancing Technology. Responding to Your Needs. With the Best Design.

No longer does your light fixture design have to cater to the cumbersome shape of a traditional light bulb.

The Kelvin LED Desk Lamp is well on its way to becoming an icon of the new design style emerging with the advancement of LED technology. Designed by Antonio Citterio, the fixture has a flat head, adjustable arm and head and has a soft, warm white light that, until now, has been difficult to achieve with LED light sources.

Some features of the Kelvin:

  • On/Off Touch Sensor using FLOStouch Technology
  • Consumes a mere 8 watts
  • 355° Swivel Head Rotation
  • 365° Pantograph Arm Rotation
  • Made from completely recyclable materials and non toxic paint
  • 50,000 hour lifespan

Lighting enthusiasts (including us!) have anticipated the arrival of the Kelvin since its début at trade shows earlier this year. Now available at Lightology, this surprisingly affordable table/desk lamp is available in white, anthracite (gray) and black.

Light & Love: A Perfect Pair.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

You light up my life.

I’ll leave the light on for you.

Come on baby, light my fire.

If you ask us, sounds like light and love are the perfect pair. So it makes sense why so many couples are coming to Lightology to capture the true essence of their love … in their engagement photos!

Misha Media Photography took advantage of EVERY inch of our showroom and rooftop deck. Don’t they look so cool sitting in the Morpheus Room (located on the second floor of our showroom) with the Andy Warhol behind them?!

Ashley Witmer Photography, Tunwa Yee of Edward Fox Photography and Photographer Chris Murphy captured the breathtaking skyline and gorgeous landscaping on our rooftop garden. And the couples don’t look half bad either!

Thanks so much to the photographers and couples Anna and Ron, Sarah and Mark, Nikki and Bhavesh, and Michelle and Mike! We wish you all a very bright future!

You can see more photos of these couples under fan photos on our facebook page.
