Visual Comfort & Co. is pleased to announce the launch of a new partnership with renowned interior designer Anne-Marie Barton, set to premiere at Fall High Point Market from October 25 to 30, 2024.

This collaboration brings together Visual Comfort & Co.'s expertise in luxury lighting with Barton's signature "organic-modern" style, resulting in a collection that beautifully blends classical roots with contemporary expression.

"My inspiration is gathered from natural elements and landscapes in the scenic beauty surrounding my projects. Visual Comfort partnered with my vision to create a collection that mixes integrity-ridden finishes with unique combinations of woods and metals, stones and leather," says Anne-Marie Barton, Principal Designer at AMB Design. "The result is a tangible warm quality that is expressed through the interchange of materials, shapes, textures and natural patinas."

"Partnering with Anne-Marie was a natural choice for Visual Comfort & Co. given her unique design sensibility and exceptional ability to blend materials and sculptural forms," said Andy Singer, Founder & CEO, Visual Comfort & Co. "Anne-Marie's reputation in the interior design world, combined with her artistic approach, allows us to present pieces that are both functional and beautifully crafted in new materials —truly elevating our assortment for customers."

The Anne-Marie Barton for Visual Comfort & Co. collection includes an extensive range of chandeliers, pendants, wall sconces, table lamps, and floor lamps, each piece showcasing Barton's dedication to authentic materials and artisanal craftsmanship. Cast and sculpted brass, custom glass, and sueded leathers are thoughtfully combined to create functional and sculptural lighting fixtures with rich textures and refined details. The collection also includes lighting designs inspired by jewelry, with fixtures reminiscent of a gold cuff bracelet, and innovative lamps integrated into side table furniture, blending form and function.

This collaboration marks an exciting new chapter for both Visual Comfort & Co. and Anne-Marie Barton, offering design enthusiasts and homeowners alike the opportunity to incorporate Barton's unique vision into their spaces through expertly crafted lighting solutions.

Visual Comfort & Co. is delighted to reveal a new partnership with the iconic legacy brand Schumacher, set to premiere at the Spring High Point Market from April 12 to 18, 2024.

This collaboration is a natural fit – Visual Comfort, a leader in the lighting design industry, and Schumacher, the venerable American design house. With over 130 years of dedication to design excellence and a commitment to timeless style, Schumacher brings its signature aesthetic to a range of hanging shades, wall sconces, and table and floor lamps. The collection features expertly crafted fabric shades structured with Schumacher's iconic patterns, promising to elevate interior spaces with unparalleled elegance and sophistication.

Dara Caponigro, the Creative Director of Schumacher, expresses her excitement about the collaboration, "I am so proud to see it come to life. It was hard narrowing down our fabrics for this collaboration, but working with the Visual Comfort Team was a dream, and it was interesting to see what they responded to." Dara adds, "The candelabra shades run the gamut from playful to classic to contemporary and are an excellent way to infuse personality into a room without overwhelming it. The choices will appeal to both minimalists and maximalists - there's nothing like pattern to elevate your mood and wake up a room."

Visual Comfort will host a book signing event with Dara Caponigro as a special offering to celebrate this wonderful partnership. Meet Dara at the Visual Comfort showroom on Sunday, April 14, 2024, between 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM.
