Call for Furniture Makers and Lighting Designers

The Furniture Society will partner with Craft in America of Los Angeles, California for a lighting exhibition to be hosted at the Craft in America Study Center in Beverly Hills this summer!

The exhibition will run from June 4, 2016 - July 31, 2016.

Hovering between art and engineering, lighting design requires multidisciplinary creativity and finesse. Our direct engagement with lighting objects is often limited in a tactile sense to the flipping of a switch. Yet, the ephemeral force that they emit revolutionizes how we experience any environment. With many lights designed to serve first and foremost as transmitters that dissolve anonymously into a space, this exhibition will instead focus on those that stand out on their own as sculptural art objects. The lamps and lighting that will be shown in this exhibition transform spaces through their primary functional capacity but also through the elegance and intrigue that they bring to domestic and commercial environments. Entries of all lighting types and styles will be considered with an eye toward craftsmanship melded with design innovation.

The entry fee is $10 for Furniture Society members and $25 for non-members. You may check your membership status and/or become a member at http://furnsoc.org/memberships/

DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION: February 15, 2016
