Light Up the Winter Season With Style

Winter season can be an positive time of the year when you walk into a room and experience mists of warm light, filtered through shades of finesse that sets a subtle ambiance. With the wide show of modern lighting options available on the market today, it can make the selection process seem overwhelming. But, with the right lighting choice, you can improve the overall aesthetic appeal of your home as well as bring a sense of mellifluous relaxation to your home.

Normann Copenhagen - Norm 69: Ceilings no longer have to be plain and boring. The modern hanging light, Norm 69 by Simon Karkov, is a masterpiece that brings a fresh, pleasing atmosphere to any room. Organic in nature, these serene shades transform a ceiling into a picture of harmony with the outdoors. In 2002, the Norm 69 received the honorable Formland Design Award at the Formland fair in Herning. Additionally, in 2003, the Norm 69 was voted "Best Product" at the IMM international furniture fair held in Cologne, Germany. The Norm 69, with its characteristic beauty, is a great buy for any modern design enthusiast!

Pablo - Light Bench: The lighting trend of today focuses more on presenting a decorative element than merely bringing light into a room. A ho-hum hallway or foyer can turn into a soft contemporary walkway with a stylish, illuminated bench, small enough to provide passing traffic, but large enough to comfortably seat two. The Pablo Light Bench, a Pablo original, has a white translucent acrylic top and is supported by two clear acrylic ends. These modern benches are a showpiece by their own, but they can also be used for showing art and prized possessions.

Pablo - Bel'Occhio: Pablo Pardo of Pablo Designs, a Venezuelan born industrial designer, has created many award-winning, simple, and useful designs of light, presenting illusory themes causing one to stop and admire. A favorite lamp of designers, is Pablo's uncomplicated, yet intriguing lamp called the Bel'Occhio. This light is a movable spotlight and ambient table lamp all in one, wrapped within a clear sphere, almost appearing to float on its base. This work of art brings a mystical sense of being and can stand alone easily, centered on a coffee table.

Winter months can be a slow period of solitude or it can be your favorite uplifting time of the year. Purchasing new and innovative lighting can produce a daily adventure in your home when you reach for the light switch. Floor lamps, table lamps, hanging lamps, benches and more have become much more than just a way to light the darkness. Explore new lighting possibilities with this list of favorites from Pablo and Normann Copenhagen and turn your abode into an experience to appreciate.
