THE ICONIC SCHOOLHAUS & COOLHAUS COLLECTION MAKE UP THE HAUS SERIES
NEW YORK, New York (September 2014) - Niche, the Beacon-based company known for continually pushing the limits in hand-blown glass lighting, is thrilled to present the Haus Series. This iconic collection is offered in two glass pendant designs, the Schoolhaus and the Coolhaus. The Schoolhaus pendant represents a modern twist on the hundred year-old traditional schoolhouse style, while the Coolhaus pendant emerges as an archetype to modern design with clean, symmetrical lines reminiscent of glass from the Art Deco Period. Both models evoke a modern and sophisticated take on the simple style of classic glass shapes. They arrive just in time for fall.
According to Niche's co-founder Jeremy Pyles, the new series “was inspired by a nostalgia for historical glass shapes. The sleek retro-silhouettes incorporate clean, utilitarian lines that are timeless and these pendants neatly balance tradition with beauty.” Pyles adds, “our signature transparent glass colors create a modern and sophisticated twist on iconic forms making these lights objects that will be loved by generations to come.”
Like all Niche lighting, each piece in the Haus series is hand-blown in New York, keeping the craft of glass blowing alive in the Hudson Valley. The designs are available in Niche’s signature glass colors, which pairs beautifully with the filaments of the nostalgic incandescent bulbs.
Schoolhaus and Coolhaus pendants work with both 120v and 240v settings. The dimensions are 9”H x 14”W. Fixtures are supplied with dimmable incandescent 40 watt globe style bulb, an LED dimmable option will be available soon.
Each glass pendant is available in 11 richly-toned colors: Amber, Chocolate, Condesa, Sapphire, Effervescent, Crystal, Gray, Plum, Rose, Smoke and Opaline. Configurable metal rod mounting system with enclosed wiring available in 3 finishes. Metal finishes: Brushed Nickel, Polished Nickel, and Aged Brass.
