American Eagle: Undercover Work to Capture Niche Modern’s Pod Pendants in Times Sq!

Posted on July 11, 2011 by Daniel Fiege •

During a recent meeting in New York City’s Times Square, Niche Modern co-founder Mary Welch came out of a restaurant and realized she was face to face with one of the American Eagle stores featuring Niche Modern’s Pod Pendants! So she ducked in, whipped out her phone and started taking pictures. The staff rushed over, waving their hands and escorted her out the front door but not before she got away with this one! They looked fantastic and it was well worth it to break the rules this time…

Posted on June 27, 2011 by Daniel Fiege •

In Hospitality Design magazine’s Products Profile, writer Jana Schiowitz pieces together the story of Niche Modern so far. The article features founders Mary Welch and Jeremy Pyles and focuses on the beginnings of the company and how it all started as an experiment, for lack of a better word. Also included is a great image drawn by young Max Pyles, son of Jeremy and Mary, of his take on Niche Modern lights, and one of Jeremy’s photographs revealing an early attraction to the subject of light. Check out our About Us page for more on the story of Niche Modern. Or pick up a copy of Hospitality Design, before the month of June is over, to read what Jana had to say! We’re delighted to be featured among the many other designers and projects featured in the HD Awards covered in the same issue.

Niche Bella Modern Pendant Light Sighting in Atlanta, Georgia

Posted on June 24, 2011 by Daniel Fiege •

One of our employees hails from Atlanta, Georgia and on a recent return trip to her old stomping ground, she couldn’t escape the clutches of her New York employers! Oy vey!

She found herself at Holeman & Finch Public House, a gastropub located in the Peachtree Hills area of Atlanta. The restaurant flaunts a beautiful batch of our Bella Pendant Lights in their bar area. Designed by Ai3, an Atlanta-based design firm, the restaurant boasts its stance as a place where “reservations are shunned and camaraderie is exalted.” For those of us remaining up here at the Niche Modern headquarters in Beacon, New York, she thought this picture might suffice. Looks amazing!

The two-month sweepstakes will be wrapping up in 11 days and we’d love for one of our fans to grab hold of their very own Niche Modern Light. Have a few already? Why not one more? Can’t bring yourself to buy one, yet? Maybe this one has been waiting for you! The Stamen is our first love, so we hold it in the highest regard.

A Stamen Pendant Lamp is on the line… who is going to take it??

We just thought we’d remind you that Elle Decor is offering one our Stamen Pendant Lamps in a Sweepstakes that runs until July 5th. The Stamen Pendant Lamp was the first hand-blown pendant designed by Jeremy Pyles, here at Niche Modern, and features the same blown glass tuck as our Pod Pendant Lamp.

Here’s a photo of the Stamen in action:

Our friends at DWR held an event celebrating “the language of Nordic Design” at their 14th Street showroom last weekend in honor of the design extravaganza going on at the ICFF and throughout the Meat Packing District. The preparations took place amidst some very sassy modern furnishings… including our beloved Pod and Stamen pendants, pictured here, which we’ve been very proud to sell through DWR since last year.

Luxe Arizona features Solitaire Pendants at Finger Rock House

Posted on May 18, 2011 by Daniel Fiege •

Architect and Interior Designer, Kathy Hancox, conceived this home for a couple in Tucson, Arizona. She is responsible for the entire design, inside and out. The couple’s love of entertaining friends was taken into consideration when designing the layout of the home. Hancox used the landscape surrounding as an excuse to situate the main living spaces on the second floor instead of the first, maximizing the view of the outdoors. We suspect that our Crimson Solitaire Pendants were selected for their deeply warm hue; fitting amidst a desert landscape.
