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.
