| Gold ADEX Design of Excellence Award for Modernism Collection  WAC Lighting has received a Gold ADEX Design of Excellence Award for its Modernism Collection. In the spirit of progress and creativity, the Modernism collection of timeless contemporary pieces pays tribute to the entrepreneurship that established an American identity in the art world. Modernism features hand-blown opal glass luminaires with energy-saving compact fluorescent lamping. The three groups included in the family are Zeitgeist, Tabula Rasa, and Avant Garde. All offer pendants ceiling mounts, close-to-ceiling fixtures and wall sconces.An expression derived from the German words for time (Zeit) and spirit (Geist), Zeitgeist was commonly used in the 1920's to refer to "the sprit of the age". Modern living was both progressive and optimistic, referring to everything from jazz to feminism to city life. The Zeitgeist set of pendants, close to ceiling, ceiling mount and sconces capture the same spirit of innovation in the use of form and sustainable technology. The Latin words for "blank slate", the Tabula Rasa Series represents a fresh start and new beginnings. This collection is purposefully designed to be minimalist and reminiscent of something new and undisturbed in its original pure state. Tabula Rasa luminaires can disappear in a room or make a statement - a fresh start to begin your design. American artists of Avant Garde challenged the established art principles of the day. Expressing their pursuit of something new in living art and architecture alike, the Avant Garde was hallmark to Modernism. Avant Garde takes this pursuit to sustainability and understated design in Modern lighting. All Modernism fixtures are available in Brushed Nickel or Chrome finishes. Modernism is offered with WAC's five-year product warranty. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Construction News :: home page |
