Contemporary Lighting Designs from Swank

As many of you know, we at Swank are obsessed with decorative lighting. When we started Swank Lighting a few years back we were intending to simply sell rebuilt vintage lamps and specifically our large supply of Murano lamps. It was a semi retirement kind of business.

We started on eBay and eventually moved from the high pressure environment of Los Angeles to the comfortable, laid back, hippie town of Austin, Texas looking for a little quiet and tranquility. Well so much for that.

After about a year in Austin, we launched our own web site and opened a showroom in Dallas. Then we started playing around in the Swank studio with different ideas we had for great lamps.
Recently we announced our new line of American hand blown glass lamps by Joe Cariati, and now we want to give you a sneak peak at a few other lines we are working on.

Pictured below are two pair of our new Recycled Glass Line which we are calling Rock Candy. And below that are some new photos of lamps from the Joe Cariati line. Then we close with some shots of a new design from our Swank Naturals line where we use natural stone and mineral specimens. In this case we have Tangerine colored Honeycomb Calcite with Acrylic designed by Matt Wojchowski of Austin.

Currently swanklighting.com is being redesigned to accommodate all of these new beauties, including full e-commerce capabilities. The new swanklighting web site is scheduled to go live this October. Until then I will occasionally post updates showing some of the products we will be selling.

I hope you appreciate the love and hard work, and fun that goes into the Swank line of products. Anyone who has ever purchased or seen our lamps in person can’t believe the quality that is built in.

More to come. Please email us your feedback. We love hearing from you.

Also if you have ideas for lighting design that you would like to take to the prototype level send us an email or call. The contact information is on our “about” page.

Thanks
Ed at Swank
