#tbtPrimelite: Here’s another blast from Primelite’s past! We’re again highlighting lights from our children’s series called “Juvenile Gems”. The 1970 catalogs introduced a series of girls & boys light fixtures, painted in traditional colors and themes. While a bit stereotypical, and definitely a reflection of the times, this baseball inspired desk lamp were part of the “Juvenile Gems” boys collection.
#tbtPrimelite: Chrome was a major interior design feature during the 1980’s. Taking notice Primelite Mfg introduced their “Modern – By Primelite” chrome lighting series. Incorporating chrome fixtures and white globe lights, “Modern” was indeed Primelite’s most “modern” lighting series. While the clean, stark and modern look was very popular, Primelite introduced some color into all this starkness. Primelite’s collection included Lucite shades available in color; Blue, Green, Amber, Red and Smoke.
This week’s #tbt trip is through our 1980s catalogs, highlighting our selection of metallic ceiling lights. Along with the turquoise, dusty pinks and seafoam greens of the day, metallics were the perfect accents to the decades modern decor. Our lights were available in a selection of metallic finishes, including gold, copper, brass and silver/chrome. When mixed with clear bulbs, these fixtures brought a sparkle and shine to any room.
