Looking for creative alternatives to the standard retail environment, most businesses are giving up the stark white setting for a blend of rustic and industrial elements. Although unique, this hybrid of nostalgic styles serves as a money saving way to create a one of a kind space out of many reclaimed woods and metals that would have been thrown away or sold for scrap. The perfect balance of recycled building materials and modern convenience is often a fine line to walk between the two styles, but when they are combined in the right combination they can bring an instant wow factor to any place of business. This ideal marriage of old and new can be seen in this latest photo that demonstrates the use of reclaimed wood, windows, and doors. Utilizing the natural stains from the aged wooden planks, a rich tapestry of browns come alive, highlighted by dark knots seated within the pine boards that frame the room and make up the walls of this stunning store. Separating the showroom from the main office is the use of an antique set of factory windows with a mixture of wavy glass and frosted windowpanes that create a faux wall, providing privacy and an open environment. With such a unique combination of styling, coming up with a light to accent this rustic, industrial environment is the key to completing this setting. To meet the needs of this store, the use of a series of galvanized Angled Sign Lights on the interior walls, allowing an ample amount of light to shine against the display wall and downward at the work area. To recreate this look in your home or office, the use of our 12” Angle Shades on HL-A Goosenecks can provide a cohesive look to any rustic or modern setting. This versatile American made light is available in a wide selection of finishes to meet any setting, with additional custom options for various gooseneck arms and wattages.

Emblem-Gooseneck-Sign-Light

The typical use of sign lighting is to illuminate signs and awnings, with the hope of business owners bringing extra attention to their businesses. In the past choices were limited to one or two sign lighting styles that not always represented the overall exterior appearance of these buildings, but desire for something different persisted due to the increased want and need for more sign light designs tailored for specific building types. With architecture ever evolving, designs were needed for existing historical buildings as well as modern structures. Echoing some of the shared elements of these buildings, the creation of the Emblem Shade carries over an organic appearance that is provided through the use of rounded shapes and a slim low profile. Although fitting of a modern structure, the retro compact appearance of the Emblem Gooseneck Sign Light harks back to the Art Deco and Streamline Modern movements of the early to mid 20th century that emphasized rounded forms and function. This Architectural RLM benefits from a unique design that places the bulb high within the slanted upper dome of the Emblem’s directional shade, which collects the light created by a choice of standard incandescent, CFL, or HID lighting. When combined with a large selection of gooseneck arms and premium finishes, the timelessness and versatility of the Emblem Shade becomes more apparent through its unparalleled, universal design.
