Kelly Caron Partners with Wendover Art Group and Lowcountry
Originals to Launch Exclusive Lighting Collection
LARGO, FL, April 10, 2025 Wendover Art Group and Lowcountry Originals are thrilled to announce their new partnership with Kelly Caron, founder and principal designer of Kelly Caron Designs, a premier fullservice interior design firm serving the coastal Southeast and Florida. The exclusive collection will debut this spring at High Point Market, showcasing a striking lineup of statement chandeliers and sconces, with many more innovative designs slated for future releases.
"I've always believed lighting is a transformative element in interior design," says Kelly Caron. "It shapes spaces, sets the mood, and enhances functionality. Lowcountry Originals has long been a trusted partner of mine, thanks to their exceptional craftsmanship. Their ability to offer extensive customization options whether in finish or scale has made this collaboration incredibly exciting. I can't wait to see my designs come to life and create lighting solutions that push the boundaries of creativity while maintaining the highest standards of artistry."
Founded in 2009, Lowcountry Originals has established itself in the luxury lighting market. It specializes in made-to-order, customizable lighting with one-of-a-kind, heirloom-quality artistry. After joining the Wendover Art Group, it has expanded its lighting offering to suit many different styles and shortened the lead time on many of its products, including its custom bed swings. Becky Brackett, founder of Lowcountry Originals, will continue to guide the development of this collection alongside Kelly.
"Kelly Caron has been a valued customer for years, and we’re excited to see her partner with the Lowcountry Originals team. Her passion for our products and her talent for working with sculptural scale makes her a natural fit for this collection. We’re confident her designs will resonate with interior designers and design lovers alike,” says Wendover CEO Richard Forsyth. “We see endless potential for success in designing fresh and innovative collections and new lifestyles that broaden LCO’s offerings and geographical customer base."
To celebrate this new collection, Wendover Art Group will host a meet-and-greet event with Kelly in their showroom during the upcoming High Point Market on Monday, April 28th, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 309 N.
Hamilton St., High Point, North Carolina 27260.
