Las Vegas-based Kalco Lighting and Allegri Crystal will be highlighting a unique blend of coastal charm, industrial flair, and naturally inspired designs at Lightovation this week.
“This season, our designers draw inspiration from organic softness, abstract forms and the vintage charm of bygone eras, resulting in 11 new decorative designs from Kalco and six elegant fixtures from our luxury crystal lighting line, Allegri,” noted Riki Lent, senior vice president of Kalco Lighting and Allegri Crystal by Kalco. “Natural materials – fine linen, crackle glass and wood beads – take center stage, elevating every space with texture and a luxurious feel.”
Among the Kalco Lighting debuts are:
• The Coaxial collection, crafted by hand from various-sized wood beads, steel, and abaca rope in thoughtfully arranged patterns that allow light to pass through the natural materials, producing a warm, inviting glow.
• The Onyx collection draws inspiration from artistic sculptures that are meticulously constructed using steel and frosted crackle glass. This collection includes replaceable LED panels that can be dimmed to create ambiance. The fixtures boast a two-toned Brushed Gold and Satin Bronze finish.
• The Duet chandelier, designed by interior designer Vanessa DeLeon exclusively for Kalco Lighting, uses internal parts as the main design element. For example, the sconce pairs crystal clear low iron glass with a Vintage Brass finish.
From Allegri Crystal by Kalco, introductions include:
• The Bella Collection, by Kalco designer Claire Kessler, was inspired by a crown of flowers and merges Art Nouveau and Art Deco influences through intricate clusters of glass flower accents crafted from clear and Vintage Rose molded glass, and an Antique Brass finish for a touch of refined grace.
• The Bianca Collection, by Kalco’s vp/design and development Takayuki Ishii, pairs an all-white cased glass chandelier with warm Winter Brass elements. Its subdued color harmonizes with a variety of décor styles, ensuring a cohesive look in any room.
• The jewelry-inspired Dama Collection, also designed by Ishii, features a balance of brass and Firenze Crystal accents. The pendant is suspended on aircraft cables, making it appear to be floating. Its low-profile body is particularly well-suited for rooms with low ceilings.
Among other Kalco debuts are two outdoor lighting fixtures: Midsummer, where classic lantern designs meet nature-inspired charm; and Marge, featuring botanical accents to add a touch of whimsy to exterior settings.
Additionally, the Colorways mirror, designed by Kalco’s senior product designer Grace Denniston, is adorned in two dazzling dichroic glass rounds and finished in True Brass to make a bold statement.
“The summer debuts reflect a more playful and artistic interpretation of nature,” Ishii explains. “By combining natural materials with sculptural forms, we continue to evolve Kalco’s popular naturally inspired design style while maintaining the quality craftsmanship that is rooted in our DNA.”
The Kalco and Allegri shared showroom is on the fourth floor of the Dallas Market Center Trade Mart (4915 TM).
