New editions to the FEISS line were their Urban Renewal Pendants and Beso Pendants. We were excited to see all of their fresh designs along with their new logo at the Dallas Market this past January. The use of wire guards, industrial like metals, exposed bulbs, and bulbous glass shapes were definitely materials used to create their Urban Renewal Collection. It was interesting to see how well these materials were put to use in a number of combinations that would allow the consumer to pick and choose a style of pendant they wanted. We think it’s a great approach to bringing an urban aesthitic from the outdoors and into our homes. We love the idea of incorporating these urban pendants with rustic decor or contemporary spaces.

We also got a chance to see the Beso Collection up-close and personal. What a bold statement these pendants were! Their sleek and simple design definitely demanded our attention in the showroom. The Beso pendants seem to have an appeal of a silhouette when lighted and when turned off, had a character of its own. We could definitely see these pendants incorporated in almost any décor. So if you decide to have the Beso pendant installed in multiples or standing alone, it will certainly make a great conversational piece in your home.

Introducing…Color of the Year for 2012, Tangerine Tango!

Not only is color important to fashion designers, but color is also important in our surroundings. Color can create a mood, it shows up in trends and color can make a statement when used in a creative way. With that said Pantone has introduced Tangerine Tango color of the year for 2012.

What we think about it?

Tangerine Tango is a color with sultry vibes and we think it’s a color that will definitely get the attention of your guests. It’s also a color that will energize a room. And the idea of adding pops of color with lighting is a great way to include Tangerine Tango into your home. We love the idea that you can add pops of color without committing to larger pieces in your home. Table lamps (portables) are a great way to interject color without overpowering your space. Contemporary styled pendants and wall fixtures are also another fabulous way to add Tangerine Tango to your decor without having it read outlandish. A Red-Orange hue tends to be a strong and a vibrant color, so it’s best that you introduce Tangerine Tango into your home and not have it take over your home. However, if you love diving into trends, try painting an accent wall in your living room with Pantone’s Tangerine Tango color. Remodeling your kitchen? Try highlighting features in your contemporary kitchen, like the island counter or bar seating with Tangerine Tango for a look that will be an attention-getter.
