HOME LIGHTING UPDATE

Designers get creative, clever, cozy

Kim Cook ASSOCIATED PRESS

Designers and lighting companies have been busy coming up with new ways to hold a lightbulb and project light, and winter is a great time to explore their latest solutions. Some are inspired by the skies overhead. Others by style eras, from Deco to disco. Still others are working with interesting materials around which to build a lamp. “There’s a growing world of lighting that’s so much more than the glass globe on a stem,” says designer Ted Bradley of Boulder, Colorado. He cites fresh, sculptural forms: “When done right, they both capture our attention as standalone ORIGINAL BTC VIA ASSOCIATED PRESS sculptures and fill the space around them with beautiful, The Pebble light fixture, formed of dozens of pieces of bone china. high-quality light.” A look at what’s new: interest in “statement lightnight. collections of glass penBradley’s own Samsara dants, chandeliers, sconces ing” — sculptural pendants, Biophilia fixture suspends white por- standout sconces, snazzy and lamps look like blown Bradley sees a trend tobubbles, chunks of ice, shades with lots of wow faccelain rings from a brass swelling waves.

Long-term mortgage rates hit 3.92%, highest since 2019 ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Average longterm U.S. mortgage rates jumped again this week, approaching levels not seen since 2019. The average rate on a 30-year loan reached 3.92%, up from 3.69% the previous week, mortgage buyer Freddie Mac reported Thursday. A year ago, the longterm rate was 2.81%. The last time the 30-year rate was higher was in May of 2019 when it reached 3.99%. The average rate on 15-year, fixed-rate mortgages, popular among those refinancing their homes, rose to 3.15% from 2.93% one week earlier. It stood at 2.21% a year ago. It last breached 3% in March of 2020, just at the pandemic was breaking in the U.S. The Federal Reserve has signaled that it would begin the first in a series of interest rate hikes in March, reversing pandemic-era policies that have fueled hiring and growth but also contributing to inflation levels not seen since the early 1980s. The Labor Department reported last week that consumer prices jumped 7.5% last month compared with 12 months earlier, the steepest year-over-year increase since February 1982. Higher costs for nearly everything have burdened consumers, offsetting pay raises and reinforcing the Federal Reserve’s decision to begin raising borrowing rates across the economy. The price for a new home has jumped about 14% in the past year and as much as 30% in some cities.

stellation style comes in configurations big and small, with sticks of LEDs arranged to suggest starry skies. CB2’s Savina pendant is an alabaster orb with swirls that resembles a planetary gas giant. And British designer Lee Broom’s Crescent collection includes suspended lighting with illuminated acrylic spheres bisected to reveal a brass interior, as though a futuristic space station were opening its door. Broom’s Eclipse fixture melds an acrylic circle with a mirrored one, like two moons meeting. Peter Bowles, who with son Charlie runs Original BTC, was one of the first to use bone china in lampshade design, over 30 years ago in Oxfordshire, England. “The potter he approached initially thought he was crazy, as they’d only ever made tableware and similar products — never lighting,” says Charlie Bowles. Stories in light Spanish designer Maria Fiter, in Barcelona, uses pulped newsprint, water-based glue, and natural earth pigments to create imaginative lightweight pendants inspired by the solar system, animal shapes, cartoon characters. Designer Pascale Girardin in Quebec, Canada, was inspired by childhood memories of picking petals off

flowers to create her Love Me Not pendant, for Juniper. The dramatically scaled fixture, composed of handformed acrylic petals suspended by cables from a matte white canopy, has a romantic, ethereal vibe. Lampshades are a great way to introduce an artsy element — and you can usually pop one onto a base you already have. Wall art Carla Regina and James Andrew, who run Regina Andrew Detroit in Michigan, say sconces have been on the uptick with their clientele. Besides providing light, sconces are wall art and “can quickly transform and update a room,” Regina says. Their Happy sconce has two white light balls perching playfully atop a smileshaped tubular base in nickel, rubbed bronze or brass. Their Gotham sconce pairs a sleeve of alabaster with Art Deco brass trim – it’s evocative of that era, yet classically modern. France & Son’s matteblack Serge sconce is a reproduction of the classic mussel-shaped Serge Mouille midcentury fixture. Inspired by antlers she saw while visiting Jackson Hole, Wyoming, designer Beth Webb had an antler cast in resin and transformed into the Jackson sconce, with a white linen shade and nickel backplate.
