Switch’s Lighting of the Globe
The Globe Building that now houses People’s Liberty has been open for a week or two at this point. Switch is proud to have provided the lighting for this wonderful space. Today we want to highlight some of the main features we provided!
This space in the kitchen is meant for ‘family dinners’. It features a cluster of Graypants Scraplights. Scraplights are made up of recycled card board, and are created ins Seattle. They add a nice texture to this lovely space!
We have a few Scotch Club fixtures by Marset through out the space in various sitting or meeting areas. Marset is located in Barcelona, Spain, and Scotch Club is made out of ceramics.
Pleat Box, Scotch Club’s brother, is hanging in a cluster of various colors and sizes over the conference table. The repeating ceramic fixtures through out the space help to keep the whole building integrated.
If you haven’t stopped by to see the restored Globe Building yet, you really should!

Today we are featuring a fixture that has recently gained a spot in a our showroom. Take a look at Pleat Box by Marset.
Pleat Box is unique because the outer shell is made up of ceramic, which is available in white, brown, black, terracotta, and grey. The interior is available in enameled white, or, for the more extravagant minded and for a warmer light, pure gold! Check it out:

Inspiration: Transitional Fixtures
Today we are giving you all some inspiration for fixtures that we consider transitional. A transitional fixture is a fixture that is contemporary, but also fits in well with a traditional design. Basically, they’re the best of both worlds! Take a look at a few of our favorite transitional pieces:
Featuring: Scotch Club
This week we are featuring the Scotch Club by Marset!
This fixture was inspired by a disco ball, hence it’s faceted shape. It features the use of a unique material as far as lighting fixtures go. The Scotch Club is composed of ceramics!
It is available as a pendant in three different sizes, making it ideal for clustering. It is also available in wall and ceiling mount versions. Color choices include white, blue, or terracotta and either a white or gold (real gold!) interior.
Feeling Like Gold
I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but gold has been a huge trend in all of design this year! Lighting design has been no exception. Today we are going to share with you a few of our pieces that could make your home or business shine!

Our Top 5 Desk Lamps for Your Office
Today we’re here to share with you our top 5 picks for the best desk lamps for your office! The fixtures we chose for this (exclusive) list were chosen because they are all the most functional and classic fixtures that would fit into any space nicely. These aren’t really in any particular order (we could never settle on an absolute favorite)!
One:Artemide Tolomeo Table
The first fixture on our list is the Tolomeo Table by Artemide. We love this fixture for its classic design and maximum flexibility. Tolomeo Table features an arm with a joint in the middle, and the ability to rotate 360 degrees. The head also rotates 360 degrees, so we aren’t kidding when we say this fixture is flexible! Tolomeo also has the option to come as an LED with a setting in which you can adjust the color temperature from cool to warm. That’s pretty amazing. To top it all off, it’s available in multiple colors and sizes, so it can easily be incorporated into any design style!
Two: Artemide Tizio
Artemide really knows their stuff. Our second fixture is their Tizio Lamp.
Tizio is also well know for its timeless design (it was first designed by Richard Sapper is 1972!) and functionality. The lamp features two arms with counter weights you can adjust to fit your lighting needs. It uses a halogen light source, and is available in a classic or mini version.
Three: Marset Polo
Next up is Marset’s Polo Lamp. Designed by Joan Gaspar in 2012, we enjoy the clean minimalism of this lamp! It’s LED and provides a wonderful, direct light for a workspace. Polo is available in white or black matte.
Four:Pablo Pixo
If you visit our blog regularly, then you already know of our love for the Pablo Pixo Lamp! This little lamp has great versatility with an arm that both tilts 180 degrees and rotates a full 360 degrees! The head can also do a full rotation. Pixo is an LED that has two brightness settings, and it even showcases a USB charging port right on the fixture!
Five: Anglepoise Original 1227
Our final product for this list is the Original 1227 from Anglepoise. If the Tizio is an old, yet classic design, then the Original 1227 is an ancient classic design! This collection was originally designed by George Carwadine in 1934! How is that for standing the test of time? The Original 1227 uses spring technology to accomplish ultimate flexibility and balance, plus it comes in a wide array of colors!
