2015 DAAP Industrial Design Student Showcase

Today Switch is pleased to be hosting the 2015 DAAP Industrial Design Students from University of Cincinnati. For the past few years, Switch has been taking part in the student’s final project by way of offering our lighting knowledge and expertise. The project is for the students to create their own unique lighting fixture. Here’s a few from the past year we loved:

Home & Garden Show Wrap Up

This past week has been a calm one compared to the busy bustling of the Home & Garden Show going on the past two weeks. While we’re glad to have a bit of a break, we also miss seeing all of our friends and making new ones at the show! Take a look at some of our photos we took during the 2015 Home & Garden show:

Inspired by the feathers of a tropical bird, Plumage is sure to be a showstopper! It is available in various solid colors, or even a multicolored version, which is the one we chose to headline our booth! Take a look at part of the install process we’ve been working so hard on:

DAAP at Switch

Every year Switch is involved in a design project for a class in the DAAP program at UC. Last week Drew and Bertie had their first meeting with the class to view the beginnings of their lighting design project. They also spoke to the students a bit about the lighting available at Switch and about lighting in general. Take a look at some of the photos taken during the student’s presentations:
