Lighting design at the home furnishings brand grows out of the collaboration of founders Carla Regina Zajac and James Andrew Slaven. Like many married couples, the two play off each other\u2019s strengths and differences: Zajac\u2019s artistic vision, whimsy and vintage vibes; Slaven\u2019s musicality, fascination with mechanics and boundless energy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As founders and owners of Regina Andrew Detroit<\/a>, Carla Regina Zajac\u00a0and\u00a0James Andrew Slaven have wide-ranging responsibilities running the home furnishings brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But one task takes priority: design, says the duo, which leads the creative team at the Detroit-based company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe do have a lot of obligations on the side of finance and budgets and leases and all the things that go along with running a business,\u201d Zajac says. \u201cBut our primary goal is creative. We come in \u2026 and we\u2019re ready to do creative work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lifestyle-driven brand founded in 1998 offers lighting, furniture, decor and rugs, as well as its One-of-One line of one-of-a-kind artisanal works, a jewelry line inspired by lighting details and special programs for hospitality customers. But lighting is at the core of the company \u2014 about 80% of the company\u2019s sales is lighting related, Slaven says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think our perspective (in lighting) is quality design and a unique ability to put \u2026 things together so that it becomes a focus of the room, but it doesn’t overtake the room,\u201d Zajac says. \u201cWe\u2019re easily placed and curated throughout a home, along with other Regina Andrew products, so you can layer them in.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customers, she says, appreciate the brand\u2019s natural materials, color selections and ceramics. \u201cIt\u2019s a very tactile, organic, natural, kind of modern feel, with still a nod to the past,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The creative force<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zajac and Slaven often work at the company\u2019s atelier, which has woodworking, metalworking, sewing, jewelry making, 3D printing, molding and other capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe can use this facility for proof of concept,\u201d Slaven says. \u201cWe create a design then we can go out into the workshop, prototype a little bit. So, when it\u2019s time to take the product design overseas, we have something in our hands physically.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zajac and Slaven are continually creating \u2014 adding to and subtracting from a series of mood boards that help guide product development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe never want to put the kibosh on anything,\u201d Slaven says. \u201c\u2026 Things can come out left field, and I never want to let those things go. They just go on the board maybe for later development. \u2026 We don\u2019t force it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI consider myself the collaborator in chief,\u201d Slaven continues. That collaboration often starts with Zajac, but the couple also works with their marketing team, looking at trends and customers\u2019 buying patterns. In addition, they consider what customers are seeking, often based on conversations during furniture markets, and work with third-party designers to help take concepts from ideation to manufacturing. And the company recently launched a brand ambassador program with 10 interior designers, who can also provide product development input. The latest additions to the group include Amber Guyton of Blessed Little Bungalow, Brittany Hakimfar of Far Studio, Emily Moss of Emily Moss Design, Avery Carter of Avery Carter Design and Kristen Elizabeth of Kristen Elizabeth Design, who joined a roster including House West Design, Gray Space Interiors, Windsor Dalton Design, Claire Thomas and Allison Handler Design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zajac is old school when it comes to product design. \u201cI\u2019m pencil and paper, notebooks, sketchbooks,\u201d she says. \u201cI always have some type of doodle going on somewhere on a scrap piece of paper.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCarla is particularly gifted with the doodle, the sketch, the initial idea,\u201d Slavens says. \u201c… She always has a sketchbook and, with just a few lines, captures a feeling. I drive off being inspired by the feeling of a sketch she\u2019s done.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slaven, on the other hand, gravitates toward tech: design software, 3D modeling, 3D printing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a multipronged approach,\u201d he says. \u201cSometimes it doesn\u2019t need that. Sometimes a napkin sketch may do just fine, but it\u2019s nice to have those assets, and it\u2019s very helpful to communicate a more complex design.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspired design<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for many product designers, travel is a source of inspiration for the couple, not just because of the new environments, but \u201cyou\u2019re away from your day to day, and you can kind of open your mind up to other things,\u201d Zajac says. \u201cIt\u2019s having that time to disconnect.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere\u2019s also fashion and music, and we like to go to a designer show house. If we\u2019re in an area visiting and one is open, that\u2019s a great source of inspiration for us,\u201d Slaven says, adding, \u201cinspiration can be found in a small detail of a piece of clothing or it can be found in an airplane flying over an interesting building that draws our attention to the spire on the top of the building.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rhoads, a lighting collection introduced at High Point Market in April, was inspired by a guitar pick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slaven, an accomplished musician, used the curves of a guitar pick as the foundation for the Rhoades collection, which includes this flush mount\/sconce.<\/em>
\u00a0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe said, \u2018That could make a great canopy or ceiling plate,\u2019\u201d Zajac says. \u201cA lot of other lighting companies don\u2019t pay attention to the ceiling plate, but it\u2019s those small little details that I think our customer comes to Regina Andrew for.\u201d Available in natural brass or oil-rubbed bronze finishes, the line features alabaster globes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rhoades<\/a> began with the idea for the chandelier, but a sconce is often the starting place for a new lighting group. \u201cThere\u2019s something about sconces,\u201d she says. \u201cThey\u2019re just like this little earring or something \u2014 they\u2019re kind of special and they can also be the spark for a collection.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In April, Regina Andrew also expanded its Polly lighting collection \u2013 a favorite of Zajac\u2019s \u2013 by adding new shade colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With its colorful shades and rotatable arms, the Polly chandelier exemplifies Zajac\u2019s playful design ethos and Slaven\u2019s interest in mechanical innovations.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s such a great blend of Jimi and Carla,\u201d she says. \u201cIt has this functional, multiarmed, tiered chandelier with arms that can be adjusted, so there\u2019s a lot built into the frame (that\u2019s Jimi) and then there are these cute little whimsical colorful shades on top, and that\u2019s kind of me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The full collection, in natural brass or blackened brass finishes, now encompasses a chandelier and sconce, plus table and floor lamps. New shade colors include Wild Poppy and Mist Blue. \u201cI think it\u2019s a great collection that has broad appeal,\u201d Zajac says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slaven says he has a hard time picking a favorite design from Regina Andrew\u2019s current line \u2014 because his mind is always focused on what\u2019s ahead. But, as Zajac notes, Slaven has a fondness for the company\u2019s mechanical innovations, especially pieces that pivot, tilt, rotate and articulate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI also like things that appear to have a history to them, but they\u2019re not on-the-nose midcentury or Italian or something,\u201d he says. \u201cThey are our take.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One example: the Sigmund pendant, \u201cwhich is a dome with beautiful gold leafing inside,\u201d Slaven says. \u201c\u2026 It\u2019s something I really love because it\u2019s just a perfect size and a perfect product for all kinds of environments.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe always show it with some custom light bulbs that we did that we call a Molten light bulb, where it\u2019s all melted looking. It has an LED filament inside and it\u2019s tinted, so it produces a beautiful amber glow,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnother favorite is the Bijoux<\/a> pendant,\u201d Slaven continues. \u201cIt\u2019s a very versatile solid crystal pendant and flush-mount that can be a sconce. \u2026 It reminds me of my rocks glasses, and that\u2019s what inspired it \u2014 my Scotch glass.\u201d The company will be expanding that collection, which also includes a flush mount\/scone option, with an eight-light chandelier using those same chunky cut crystal globes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This fall, the company will add an eight-light chandelier to the Bijoux collection, which was inspired by a rocks glass. (Flushmount\/sconce shown here.)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Customer-friendly creativity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regina Andrew launches new products at the biannual High Point Market, but the company notes that new products are posted online 30 days ahead of the shows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo, we begin showcasing and telling the story,\u201d says Chief Marketing Officer Neil MacKenzie. \u201c\u2026 What\u2019s great is that if you\u2019re not coming to market, which not everybody is, you still have access. \u2026 We set up virtual appointments for folks that aren\u2019t going to come, so if you want to have a virtual walkthrough to get a sense of scale, we\u2019ll do that, too \u2014 anything that makes it easier (for customers).\u201d At furniture markets, the company now provides scanners for those who prefer a self-service tour of the showroom, which is entirely shoppable. Of course, company sales reps are available to help customers with walkthroughs and order placement, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
The Sigmund pendant (also available in white with gold leaf) represents Regina Andrew\u2019s goal of creating memorable lighting that fits comfortably into interior styles.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s next<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to interior design trends in general, both Zajac and Slaven see a move away from clearly defined styles like industrial, farmhouse or coastal and toward more sophisticated takes on such aesthetics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And \u201ceclecticism has become kind of an ingrained thing in people,\u201d Slaven adds. \u201cThere\u2019s also a movement in the young generation that anything popular isn\u2019t popular.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What can customers expect from Regina Andrew in the fall? New offerings will include ceramic pendants and a lighting collection inspired by an espaliered pear tree the couple planted at their home, Zajac says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMaster gardeners grow these trees over years to create these beautiful, candelabra-like, chandelier-like structures,\u201d she says. \u201cSo, we have a collection coming out based on our little tree.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
