LANCER Keramik table The Lancer family of modern design tables boasts a sculptural, majestic, and unparalleled style. What makes Lancer a unique and precious model is the base with a strong architectural value, enlivened by a punchy graphic sign. Four blades cut through the air and intersect each other, creating an energetic composition with an apparently irreproducible pattern. Each leg is designed with a T-section, which multiplies the opportunities for crossing and overlapping. The entire base is thus strengthened by a rhythmic chiaroscuro effect, in which the blind zones contrast with the metal portions struck by the light. The bold aesthetic, unafraid of attracting attention, extends to several variants. The standard model is made of transparent glass, allowing you to appreciate the sculptural base in its entirety. The Lancer Moon glass model, in contrast, is a modern decorated glass table with a three-dimensional bronze finish, irregular to the touch, which the designer imagines as a satellite to be explored. Finally, the Lancer Keramik and Lancer Wood versions are respectively a ceramic table model and one with a precious wooden top, with finely worked edges.

The North Shore home, in Shorewood, WI, was originally constructed in 1923. Prior remodels had maintained most of its heritage millwork and other detailing found in early 20th Century North Shore homes. However, a kitchen remodel a few years back completely disregarded this heritage. The design objective was twofold: modernize the kitchen while integrating the existing heritage detailing found in the rest of the house. The existing kitchen had an awkward geometry causing bad circulation patterns and insufficient storage. The clients’ goals were to improve circulation and increase storage and accessibility needs (the family’s primary chef is 5’2”) while creating a space where they could enjoy socializing with family and friends, fostering more openness and better connection to the adjacent rooms. The solution centered around providing multiply sightlines to the kitchen. The primary sightline created is from the entry—guests now have a direct sightline to the welcoming kitchen space upon entering the house that is visually terminated with a painting. This was achieved by relocating the existing powder room from its central location and giving its space and location to the kitchen.

ADPD703HM4: adorne® Paddle Dimmer - 700W - Incandescent/Halogen - Magnesium Dual-engineered with a rocking motion for seamless on/off lighting control, as well as a slider for dimming in one beautifully inventive package. To determine what option is right for you, make sure the wattage of your bulbs matches the wattage of the dimmer switch by multiplying the number of bulbs by their respective wattage. For example, if you have a chandelier with 11 bulbs at 100 watts each, you would need the 1100 watt dimmer switch. Supports incandescent and halogen bulbs and single-pole/3-way operation. Easy "1-for-1" installation lets you simply replace your existing switch in just minutes. Fits in your existing electrical box and does not require new wires for typical installation. Innovative assembly and snap-in system make it fast and simple to install.

Kitchen - transitional kitchen idea in Austin

- 14 SUSPENSION LAMP. The 14 is an articulated, seamed cast glass sphere with a frosted cylindrical void that houses either a low voltage (12V, 10W xenon) or LED (12V, 1.5W) lamp. Individual pendants are visually quite subtle, but gain tremendous strength when multiplied and clustered in large groups. Light interacts with the bubbles and imperfections of the cast glass to produce a glow reminiscent of small candles oating within spheres of water. Cast glass is an organic process, imperfect by nature and each 14 is hand made; thus, every piece produced is unique. Ø4'' x 120''H. Adjustable height. http://ow.ly/3zh1gV

This 900 square foot NYC residence features a wealth of fold-out furniture, hidden storage, and other space-saving features. What really makes it feel expansive, though, is the use of specially-coated front-surface mirrors in strategic locations. These mirrors are placed above eye level to make the ceiling appear to extend far beyond the perimeter walls. Front-surface mirrors are also located directly adjacent to windows to multiply the views and increase the light brought into the space. It is a new take on an old idea, and one that subtly and invisibly reinforces the architecture. The loft is mainly one big open space that includes a kitchen and living room supplemented with a multi-use area that can serve as an office, guest bedroom, or 10-person dining room depending on the configuration of the retractable furniture.The bathroom and main bedroom are designed as small ͞cabinets͟ that flow from this space. White epoxy floors and gloss lacquered surfaces continue the sense of reflectivity, and contrast sharply with dark walnut cabinetry and panels at the perimeter. Dimmable concealed lighting at the perimeter combined with small point sources at art locations allow for a wide variety of moods depending on the light levels.The overall effect is minimal, yet warm and inviting.

1. Natural Light Yes, plants, animals and people need natural light. But when sunlight is streaming through your windows, blinding you during dinner, you’ll want to be able to block it out. There’s a reason early humans lived in caves. 2. Floor and Table Lamps There’s a place for overhead lighting, but in general it’s easier to control and change lighting with strategically placed floor lamps and table lamps. Move the lamps around from time to time -- experiment with highlighting different parts of a room for a new look. 3. Fluorescent Lights Just say no. Let’s not even discuss this any further. 4. Candles It is a universal truth that every woman looks more beautiful in candlelight. Candles create a special, cozy and intimate feeling, whether they’re real or flameless. 5. Dimmers These are absolutely your best friend. Any overhead lighting should have a dimmer. Period. 6. Outdoor Lights With peaking interest in outdoor living spaces, outdoor lighting options have multiplied, which is great news for everyone. String lights are especially appealing. Avoid strong stadium-style lighting or safety lights, which aren’t appropriate for areas where you entertain.
