#tbtPrimelite: Now here’s a real blast from the past! Our selection of 1970s globes included these hand painted character globes. Inspired by the children’s doll “Raggedy Ann” and clowns, these globes were Primelite’s first foray into childrens lighting fixtures.
Working with a local artist, who hand painted each globe, our “Raggedy Ann” and “Harlequie” and “Halequina” clown characters were popular children’s themes. Raggedy Ann was, and is, a classic, and clowns have always been favorite characters with children. Primary used in childrens bedrooms these fixtures were popular throughout the ’70s decade.
#then&now: While these hand painted character face globes were Primelite’s first children’s lighting fixtures, we’ve continued to offer childrens fixtures through the years. As styles and themes have changed, so have the themes of our childrens fixtures. In 2015 our childrens light fixtures have a sports related theme.
Movie Premiers are a bright, noisy, and joyous celebrations. The premiere for the recently opened movie The Intern was especially bright as Primelite’s #40/19 walked the red carpet along with the movie’s stars, Robert DeNiro and Anne Hathaway. Dressed in its Glossy Black finest, #40/19 was basking in its guest starring glow as it helped illuminate The Intern to its box office heights. Do we see an Oscar in Primelite’s future? Inquiring minds want to know!
Check out Primelite #40/19’s guest starring role illuminating many of the workplace scenes in the movie The Intern.
