Caroline Kline Galland Home Sep 4, 2012 by dgv

Seattle designers Rice Fergus Miller chose four PROSPERITY pendants to adorn the new lobby living room at the Caroline Kline Galland Home, a 205-bed, skilled nursing facility on the shores of Lake Washington in the Seward Park neighborhood of Seattle.

The shade is Ø22” in diameter at the bottom, Ø21” at the top, 12” high and comprised of Xorel “Dash” 6603-16 stretched over high impact acrylic sheet.  The bottom diffuser disk is permanently bonded to shade sides.  These compact fluorescent fixtures feature Lutron EcoSystem 5% dimming electronic ballasts.

PROSPERITY is conceived as a versatile, adaptable light fixture system offering an interchangeable array of size and color options.   The clean, sealed fixture design incorporates a technologically advanced and environmentally sustainable shade fabric.  Xorel, a highly durable woven polyethylene textile from Carnegie Fabrics, is inherently anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-staph, water repellant and stain resistant.  It is ideal for hospital, medical office, hotel, and other demanding public applications.

Smart Building compatible fluorescent dimming versions are available.  XOREL by Carnegie Fabrics is MBDC Cradle-to-Cradle certified Silver.

PROSPERITY pendants of other sizes hang elsewhere in the facility.

CUSTOM IMAGO PENDANT for Group Health Puyallup Jul 26, 2012 by dgv

Eight custom pod-shaped pendants were created for the lobby of Group Health’s Puyallup facility.   Ten strips of Knoll Textiles’ Imago Lintel “White Light” contribute a bright, sophisticated, satiny look to the organic form of the 30” tall outer shade.  An inner diffuser of high-impact acrylic softens the light produced by two 24 watt high output T5 lamps.

The pendant is fully enclosed — appropriate to a hospital setting.  The top is enclosed with a white powder-coated steel disk set in an opal white acrylic outer ring, the bottom has a removable opal white acrylic disk for access to lamps for replacement.

Fixtures are ceiling mounted on 1/2” diameter stainless steel tubing.
