ILEX ARCHITECTURAL LIGHTING MAKES
BDNY SHOW DÉBUT WITH A HOST OF
HAUTE NEW HOSPITALITY OFFERINGS
ILEX Architectural Lighting showed its hospitality chops at
its first BDNY show this past fall, displaying additions to the
Portfolio Collection, including new fixtures by megawatt
designers Michael Graves, Mick Ricereto, Laura Kirar,
Christopher Poehlmann and Michael Wolk. A number of ADA
compliant and high design sconces, including several from
the City Series line were also on display in the booth.
President of ILEX Architectural Lighting, Alan Indursky,
remarks, "We were excited to exhibit for the first time at BDNY
with a curated selection of new lights, as well as high-
performing best sellers, all of which are tailor made to meet
the needs of the hospitality industry. With design by top
professionals who are out specifying for their own projects,
and a variety of application and lamping options available, our
fixtures are ideal for a large range of hospitality projects."
In detail, new products on display include:
SPACE ARRAY AND LA CAGÉ BY MICK RICERETO
Space Array is an avant-garde pendant composed of
aluminum "leaves," which can be easily snapped on and off
and moved up or down, offering a truly customizable solution
that can be adjusted when a new look is desired. A highly
adaptable fixture, Space Array is available in several sizes and
in Matte White, Teal, Black and custom colors. These pendants
use an Incandescent light source or LED.
Ricereto was inspired by salvaged industrial products when
creating La Cagé, a unique wire-frame pendant with an open,
cage-like exoskeleton enveloping a smaller, round glowing
lamp. The resulting form—9" tall and 14" in diameter—coveys
both lightness and strength, simultaneously. Available in
Matte Black, Matte White, Matte Teal and Polished Nickel
finishes, they come with an Incandescent light source or LED.
CHROMA AND WOODS BY CHRISTOPHER POEHLMANN
For Chroma, Poehlmann's main objective was to develop a
simple pendant, through which the use of a single variable - in
this case, color - could offer a product family with many options.
The pendant beautifully houses both new and old lighting
technology depending upon the preference of the user and
alleviates the notion of planned obsolescence with its adaptable
design program. Finish options include Polished Aluminum,
Matte Black, Matte White, Shiny Red and Shiny White. Lamping
options are LED, Fluorescent and Incandescent.
