“I wanted to provide my clients with a refuge from their busy lives. They have demanding careers and four children, so this lake house is their sanctuary. The smooth, curvy lines of our Kagan Sofa combined with the softness of our Thayer Coggin Swivel Chairs contribute to a feeling of tranquility and comfort in this beach home.”

This week’s feature: Linda Peterson, Lighting Customer Service for C.A.I. Designs Scottsdale!

“Hands down, my favorite thing is our beautiful Axis Ring chandelier by Hammerton Studio. This artisan glass fixture is completely fabricated right here in the U.S. and the quality and attention to detail shows. Invisible LED modules illuminate the glass, while unobtrusive LEDs provide task lighting. Suspended by thin cables, this sleek yet glamorous ‘ice sculpture’ seems to float on air.

Like so many of our light fixtures, this one really needs to be seen to be appreciated. Please visit us in our Scottsdale showroom and prepared to be wowed!”

This week’s feature: Philip Chavez, Creative Director for C.A.I. Designs!

“Coming from my favorite corner in the Arlington Heights showroom, my inspiration is from mixing materials reminiscent of my home in New Mexico. The use of refined pieces with dusty palettes from the sunset to tribal patterning coming from the surrounding reservations to organic shapes found in the river valley, they each evoke memories of discovering items in old barns or ranches and digging through my grandparent’s treasure trove of pieces from generations past.”
