"Suspenders™ LED system is a delicately scaled, modular system of interconnected elements and suspended LED components. It can be configured as individual lighting sculptures or as a tiered web of infinite scope and variety. Using today’s leading edge technology, Robert Sonneman has reimagined and greatly expanded his original Suspenders concept from the late 1980s with a lighter scale, increased capability, and wider range of precisely scaled luminaires.
Because of the extensive range of possibilities offered by Suspenders, we have preconfigured a collection of arrangements that you can select as shown. You can also modify these arrangements using our configuration tables, or use them as inspiration to create your own completely custom configurations.
We will continue to build upon and expand Suspenders as an openframed illumination system of innovative possibilities as we move forward.
A 24” Ring Power Bar hangs from a ceiling mounted outlet box transformer on 6’ adjustable Ring Power Feed Hangers. Luminaires are evenly spaced around the ring on 9” Luminaire Hangers."

This Boulder, Colorado remodel by fuentesdesign demonstrates the possibility of renewal in American suburbs, and Passive House design principles. Once an inefficient single story 1,000 square-foot ranch house with a forced air furnace, has been transformed into a two-story, solar powered 2500 square-foot three bedroom home ready for the next generation.
The new design for the home is modern with a sustainable theme, incorporating a palette of natural materials including; reclaimed wood finishes, FSC-certified pine Zola windows and doors, and natural earth and lime plasters that soften the interior and crisp contemporary exterior with a flavor of the west. A Ninety-percent efficient energy recovery fresh air ventilation system provides constant filtered fresh air to every room. The existing interior brick was removed and replaced with insulation. The remaining heating and cooling loads are easily met with the highest degree of comfort via a mini-split heat pump, the peak heat load has been cut by a factor of 4, despite the house doubling in size. During the coldest part of the Colorado winter, a wood stove for ambiance and low carbon back up heat creates a special place in both the living and kitchen area, and upstairs loft.
This ultra energy efficient home relies on extremely high levels of insulation, air-tight detailing and construction, and the implementation of high performance, custom made European windows and doors by Zola Windows. Zola’s ThermoPlus Clad line, which boasts R-11 triple glazing and is thermally broken with a layer of patented German Purenit®, was selected for the project. These windows also provide a seamless indoor/outdoor connection, with 9′ wide folding doors from the dining area and a matching 9′ wide custom countertop folding window that opens the kitchen up to a grassy court where mature trees provide shade and extend the living space during the summer months.
With air-tight construction, this home meets the Passive House Retrofit (EnerPHit) air-tightness standard of

This Bryn Mawr PA homes master bath wasn’t lacking in size but it did need some redesign and a new feel. We transformed this bathroom into a sleek marble oasis. Porcelain tile replicates the look of marble without all the down sides of natural marble tile. I love the high sheen finish; it definitely looks spectacular. The large neo angle shower with frameless glass surround and large freestanding soaking tub fit the space perfect. The vanity in Echelon cabinetry Addison door with Dove painted finish blends perfectly with the new look; providing tons of storage and even a special pull out unit to house the hairdryer and curling iron with its own power outlet. The clients selections for all the fixtures and accessories are spot on. This bathroom renovation speaks for itself.
