Finding a Niche

Good lighting makes the mundane beautiful and makes the beautiful stunning, and Niche uses 2,700-degree Kelvin bulbs in their handblown glass fixtures and chandeliers for that soft, white-gold glow. But the warmth is deeper than that. "It's not just the temperature of the light that's warm, it's the pay-it-forward mentality," says Creative Director Jeremy Pyles. "People find us online or in a magazine and don't realize everything is done in-house and hands-on right here in Beacon, by a close-knit team of 22 people. Supporting American artists and makers is crucial to us. You might pay a little more, but you get so much more. We're serious about that and about being good neighbors - people who come up for day one of the warehouse sale we're having June 11th and 12th won't just get 50-80% off amazing lighting, they'll get to enjoy Beacon during Second Saturday."
