Troy Lighting, a well-known manufacturer of indoor and outdoor lighting products based in California, has rolled out its winter 2013 indoor collections blending rustic/feminine, sculptural and playful elements.
 
The new designs debuted at the Dallas International Lighting Market on January 17-21, 2013. All of the pieces stay true to Troy Lighting’s transitional aesthetic roots, yet break new ground by creatively juxtaposing rustic and feminine elements, delving into artistic/sculptural lighting and even celebrating science and the great Albert Einstein.
 
“Troy Lighting continues to stretch out of its comfort zone in 2013,” said Steve Nadell, president of Troy-CSL. “We added a larger selection of pieces with rustic/feminine accents to our indoor collections and have a number of introductions that blur the line between lighting fixture and standalone work of art. All of these pieces bring fresh vision to the Troy Lighting brand and most importantly more choices and styles for consumers.” Here are a few of the 2013 highlights:
 
Bordeaux beautifully juxtaposes the rustic look of hand worked wrought iron with the feminine qualities of flowing lines, hand carved wood accents in gold leaf and crystal. Jasper blends delicate, small diameter metal work with candelabras and a coastal rust finish that gives it an aged, Old World feel. Surya is a sun motif sconce done in hand forged iron and smoke crystal diffuser. Surrey features distressed black finish, candelabra base and antique gold accents.
 
Uni is a prime example of how Troy Lighting is blurring the line between functional lighting fixture and standalone work of art. The term “Uni” refers to the sea urchin. Chianti is like its own still-life painting, with what appears to be bottles of the Italian vino suspended neatly in a storage rack straight out of the 1800s and early 1900s. Relativity makes creative use of chalk boards and a retro military surplus look. Each piece includes mathematical equations and a unique chalk drawing of Albert Einstein.
