Make the Holidays Merry and Bright with A Dramatic Home Lighting Installation!

A famous person once said, “Everyone shines, given the right lighting.”  We agree Black truffles and old Burgundy, as recommended by the experts at Food & Wine  are more flavorful under dramatic lighting.  Visualize the glow on the faces of your family members, friends and neighbors as you celebrate the holidays and special occasions at your table.

What do you think of this galaxy of Graypants‘ Moon, Disc, Luna, Drop and for good measure, Ohio, in bleached white?   This recent residential installation designed by

Switch’ creative director Drew Dearwester and lighting specialist Bethany Smith, enters our Install Hall of Fame.

We’d love to create a special lighting feature for you in time for the holidays.  Give us a call at (513) 721-8100 or email us for a consultation.   Of course you’re welcome to visit our new showroom at 312 West Fourth Street (at Plum).  Our hours are M-S, 10-6.

Dachshund vs Drone and Your Zen Stone

A number of our customers and friends have met the newest member of our team, Duchess the Dachshund.  A bit high strung, she’s a perfect compliment to Freida — who’s the personification of “cool as a cucumber.”  Speaking of keeping your personal barometer under control this summer, we are offering special pricing — up to 25% — on all ceiling fans, both indoor and outdoor models.  Featuring our tops brands: The Modern Fan Company, Minka Aire and Fanimation, order today for quick delivery.   Simply visit the links, then call us at (513) 421-1901 or visit us in our new lighting and furniture showroom at 312 West Fourth Street.

2017: Our Most Promising Year Yet

Happy New Year!

Your feedback and positive energy made our first quarter in our new home at 312 West 4th more than we could have hoped.  We hosted private events for a handful of non-profit organizations, holiday parties for a couple of pretty well-healed women’s clubs, a standing room only Concert Nova coffee fueled concert and the works of modern artist Mary Barr Rhodes.  If that weren’t enough, Switch became holiday card central for some.  Fred and Lydia captured our livable modern vibe in these dynamic images by Stereoscope Photography:

 

And now this…a feature in Venue Magazine!  With 10,000 subscribers reading about our new destination, we expect to make a boatload of new friends…and customers.

 

We’d love to host your event.  Call us at (513) 421-1901 or email Bertie.  We’ll certainly make it memorable.

From Winter with Love…

It’s colder in Cincinnati today than in Juneau, Alaska.  This deep chill has sent my mind drifting to last years’ vacation in Quito, Ecuador

drew-in-the-andes

and more recently to Solidaridad just outside Playa del Carmen: warm, vibrant…and surprisingly modern.

Mexico and South America are replete with modern art, inventive architecture and minimalistic hotels, inns and resorts.  Thayer Coggin, featured at Switch Lighting & Design on Fourth, our new downtown Cincinnati lighting and furniture showroom, would be equally at home in these sun-drenched modern locales as in a cozy cabin,  a cloud capped high rise apartment or a toasty suburban Center-Hall colonial.

 

For an appointment…and a cup of our “special” hot chocolate,  email Drew or Bertie today. You’re also welcome to drop in anytime between 10-6 Monday – Saturday.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

6 Great Holiday Gifts for Her and Him

Holiday season 2016 is underway so we thought we’d share our favorite picks for the special someone(s) in your life.  Because a gift is an expression of your personal style,  look for items that reflect your personality and taste, but suit the recipient.  Gift giving should never send you to the poorhouse or break the bank.  Send a heartfelt note or a baked good before gifting beyond your means.  That said, here’s what we love!  All items are currently available for purchase at Switch and will ship in time for Christmas and Hanukkah if order by December 10. Many more options to help you celebrate the season available in store.  Visit our new location in downtown Cincinnati at 312 W. 4th.  Hours: 10-6, M-S.  Appointments welcome: 513.421.1901.
