Maria’s Favorite Finds
The beautiful flowering branches of the Fiori Chandelier by Lib & Co. are finished in gold leaf with intricate glass blossoms in clear and frosted white glass. Each petal is delicately shaped to catch and diffuse the light. The 2 colors of flowers provide a layered, ethereal glow. It’s a showstopper and certainly caught my eye!
This organically shaped Ibiza Chandelier by Palecek offers cool vibes at a large scale. It’s made of natural abaca rope hand-twisted and embedded in a fiberglass shell. It comes with a champagne finished powder coated metal canopy hanging kit and adjustable cable wires which are easily cut, and allows customizable hanging heights. The movement in this piece is unlike no other.

Amy’s Favorite Finds
A few themes at Lightovation stood out to me. Jewelry-inspired collections made a strong showing, with lighting that felt more like wearable art than a traditional fixture. Ceramic materials were everywhere. Color was used more across collections, and glass florals appeared as bold, sculptural focal points.
The Lyric collection by Hubbardton Forge draws inspiration from the sculptural talents of jewelry designer Ori Goldberg. Ori brings his hand hammered metal techniques to the lighting world. Abstract oval rings are free moving and can be positioned to suit the design of the space. The collection has a kinetic energy that balances art and light. As with all Hubbardton fixtures, designers can select their desired metal finish. The Lyric becomes the focal point of any space.

Julie’s Favorite Find
The Fiorello collection by Corbett was a showstopper right when I saw it! Its large scale and beautiful omission of light is so uniquely stunning. Pairing the scale and light with the Patina Brass finish and glass shapes, the design immediately becomes a work of art. The chandelier can be adjusted to match the style and layout needed easily to bring the magic into anyone’s home.
