Big News: Swank Murano Lamps chosen “Must Have” by D Home Editors

Published January 19th, 2008

I posted a teaser last year about a major design publication featuring Swank Lighting’s Murano Lamps in their Jan/Feb issue.  Well I can now finally “spill the beans”.  We were approached by the fabulous D Home Magazine in early December to arrange a photo shoot at the studio of the wonderful photographer Chris Plavidal.  We had a wonderful day with Chris who shot 11 of our lamps chosen by the editors of D Home. 

As things usually go in magazine publishing, you end up with more material than you can actually use in the magazine.  So in the end the editors chose 8 of our lamps and published the article under the heading “I Want Candy”.  The article is so much fun, and if you are lucky enough to be in a location where D Home is sold, pick up a copy.  The Jan/Feb issue is the first issue of a major re-design and take it from me, it is BEAUTIFUL. 

Swank had one of 3 lamp finalists for the cover shot as well.  Unfortunately we were not chosen for the cover, but there is a cute little article about the cover titled “Goldilocks and the three lamps”.  We are in great company.  The lamp chosen for the cover was a Gray Morrell sculpted arm lamp at Allan Knight and Associates.  The other finalist was Jan Showers Venitian Series #4.  This cute little article is not posted online but I will post it as soon as I have a chance to scan it into a PDF file.

Thanks so much to the wonderful Rebecca Sherman, Executive Editor, and Andrea Tomek, Art Director at D Home.  And of course a big thanks to photographer Chris Plavidal for doing such a wonderful job and making our day in the photo studio so much fun.
