You can’t imagine how positively tickled Charlotte was when she opened one of her past copies of Phoenix Home and Garden and randomly landed on this stunning spread of Niche Modern’s Solitaire pendants in Crimson. Not just tickled by the drop dead beauty factor of this environment but also because our founder and creative director Jeremy is her son! And she’s been a proud supporter of Niche since the very beginning. So this was a double pleasure.
The kitchen in this 1957 Phoenix ranch underwent a big renovation and we love the way the warm spirit of the place was clearly left in tact while some very modern influences were seamlessly tied into the equation. Crimson is a real show stopper. Thanks to momma Charlotte for bringing to our attention back in New York!

We just loved this shot of our Niche Modern Bella in Amber taken by Rachellynn Schoen (rachellynndesign.com) and recently featured on Design Sponge (see article here). This interior was designed by Melinda Cabanilla at Mistura Interior Design (misturainteriordesign.com) and serves as a great example of how versatile the Bella pendant is. There is so much warmth and compatibility between the tone of the wood floors, the gold mirror and the timeless style of the amber glass. Thanks to Melinda and Rachellyn for sharing.

Here is a great example of how versatile Niche Modern’s pendants can be and how effectively the Amber color choice can bring warmth and tie a room together. This house is a new construction in Lake Michigan about 75 miles from Chicago. The design was inspired by the original 1906 home on the property, which was in severe disrepair and unsalvageable. As the designer for the project remarked, the home beautifully embodies an Arts-and-Crafts meets Mid-Century-Modern design. Niche Modern’s Pharos and Stamen pendants in Amber were one of the very first choices the designer made for these rooms. RoomTEN, the design group for the project, worked hard to make eco-conscious choices for the house: locally built millwork, furniture and American made fixtures throughout the house. We love being included in such personal, gratifying achievements of architecture and design. Many thanks roomTEN!

Desiron welcomed Niche Modern into their super sexy showroom in SoHo a few years ago and we were very flattered when founder Frank Carfaro requested a Stamen pendant in Smoke for his kitchen. We absolutely love the way his apartment renovation turned out and were excited when a friend of Niche pointed out this article last week showcasing his home in the New York Times. Enjoy!

Karl, from the Startup Daily, shared this great piece in his blog post following his week-long attendance of the torrent that is the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas last week. The video is called “The Joy of Books” and is created by Type Bookstore in Toronto, Canada. What an awesome feast for the eyes!
At :26 seconds you can see two handblown Niche Modern Solitaire pendants in Smoke above the register. We just love how creative and totally awesome our customers are!
Thanks Karl and thank you Type Bookstore for the reminder!
Last year we began to look at Facebook as a means of reaching out to you all, specifically when we couldn’t interact with you directly as we like to do most often. Earlier this week we crossed the 20,000 Facebook fan threshold into super stardom, but more importantly, toward a deeper community. Having you all with us is starting to feel like we’re embedded within a city of our own filled with people who all think alike about lighting and its importance in the world of design, architecture and art.
Thank you all for hopping aboard the train on this journey that we’ve chosen to embark on. We honestly couldn’t do it without you, foremost. Please, share your thoughts and remarks with us here or on Facebook. And stay tuned for an eventful 2012. We love you all!
We were so excited when Grace Bonney of the lovely Design Sponge blog told us about her first book publication and invited us to contribute images of our loft construction. After more than a year of hard work Grace finished her book: Design Sponge at Home and Niche Modern is featured at the very end with images of our 2008 massive renovation of the 19th century loft we now call home (for our family and offices) in Beacon New York. We are very happy for Grace, honored to be included and wish all of our friends at Design Sponge much continued success!

Jeremy and Dan had such a blast at the Design Within Reach open house party last week. Design Within Reach recently moved offices from San Francisco to Stamford Connecticut. Now the staff there can enjoy things like the lovely autumnal snow storm this past weekend! We are so proud that a big cluster of our Niche Modern Pod and Stamen lights adorn the main entrance, right next to some of our favorite designers of all time like George Nelson. What an honor!
