RESOLUTE welcomes two new members to the SMITH family of fixtures: SMITH 24 and SMITH 36. The new sconces bring the versatility of BOX to the more aggressively-priced shade design of the SMITH family.

Uncompromisingly resilient, SMITH 24 and 36 feature double-layer shade construction: XOREL, an extremely hard-wearing woven polyethylene fabric from Carnegie Fabrics, is backed by a sheet of high-impact co-polymer.  The fixtures are fully enclosed on all sides; the shade fabric is inherently anti-bacterial and easily cleaned; the shade design is optimized for fluorescent illumination.

RESOLUTE now offers ten in-stock XOREL fabric options. COM selections from the full range of nearly 400 XOREL colors and patterns are easily accommodated.

SMITH 24 and 36 are available in dimming and non-dimming versions. Both versions meet ADA design guidelines; fixtures can be mounted horizontally or vertically.

The SMITH family includes pendant, rigid drop, ceiling, wall, table, and floor assemblies — as system of configurations and components conceived to meet the lighting needs of almost any setting.

We are pleased to introduce four exciting new CARNEGIE XOREL fabrics to our stock collection of  SOLUTIONS FABRIC shade options for our PROSPERITY, SMITH and SAVOYE fixture families, for a total of ten colorways.  Meteor 6427-708, -720 and -721 are new offerings from CARNEGIE that coincide nicely with customer requests; Dash 6603-9 takes our neutral palette in a new direction.

Dash 6603-9 is a more translucent, airy, natural linen-like fabric that expands on our neutral range with a nuanced green tea effect when lit.

Meteor 6427-708 introduces an elegant, sophisticated, flattering warm birch tone.

Meteor 6427-720 is already proving to be a very popular yellow tan with mid-range translucency.

Meteor 6427-721 rounds out the new selections with a rich wood veneer feel, useful where an intense color statement is important.

All four new fabric options offer the same outstanding performance properties as our original XOREL selections:  the durability, colorfastness and ease of cleaning inherent in a woven polyethylene textile; low energy requirement to manufacture, no chlorine, heavy metals or plasticizers are added; anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-staph and resistant to bacterial strikethrough; MBDC Cradle-to-Cradle certified Silver.

These four new fabrics are available immediately.

A corridor installation of PROSPERITY wall sconces shows to advantage its gently rounded contours.  Wall box and trims are stainless steel, the shade is covered in XOREL from Carnegie Fabrics.  The fixture is fully enclosed with soft frosted acrylic top and bottom.

PROSPERITY sconces are available as D1 rectangle, D2 square, and D3 keystone; D1 and D2 are ADA compliant. D1 and D2 fixtures are available with smart-dimming capabilities.

The PROSPERITY family also includes floor, table, and ceiling hung fixtures.  All PROSPERITY fixtures offer the options of electronic fluorescent technology and Lutron 3-wire, digital, addressable ballasts for incorporation into smart-building energy/lighting management system.

Resolute helped solve a difficult lighting problem. The space was well lit by natural light in summer but too dark in winter. A challenging acoustic ceiling tile system complicated addressing the issue. High output electronic dimming fluorescent fixtures were employed in conjunction with sophisticated controls. Diffusion was carefully considered for maximum light output balanced against producing too much glare.

In the very high main space, Smith 28 pendants with 4x 36W CFL lamps were modified to hang from special “X” support frames. Shades covered in Xorel Flash Back 6615-F20. Smith 23 pendants were used along the perimeter windows to balance lost light on overcast days. These pendants used special lower diffusion disks to get more light down. Custom Smith 17-5 ceiling fixtures were developed to be used in very dark, low ceiling areas – a challenging situation! The fixtures are shallow and as with the Smith 28′s, are lamped with dimming high output lamps (2x 42W). Shades 17″ diameter x 5″ high. The Smith 17 shown below (lower right) is similar to the design used on this project but in a different fabric and with low output illumination.

Greetings Everyone,

We just returned from an amazing week at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair in New York City where we shared a booth with our friends from Carnegie Fabrics. I can speak for all of us when I say we are both tired and ebullient! Carnegie displayed some of their vibrant new Xorel, Meteor colors on wall panels and Xorel upholstered Ottomans and we showed everyone all the wonderful ways you can light up Xorel.

The Prosperity Table and Floor lamp debut coincided with the beginning of ICFF and I must say us lamps really enjoyed our first trip to New York City! Our booth was full of color, light and life and we loved all the attention!!! People were so excited that we have energy efficient fluorescent options as well as lovely diffusion on both the top and bottom of most of our shades – not to mention our 3 new hardware finishes: Pewter, Porcelain and Bronze. Many designers already love Xorel and are excited to have a new way to use the innovative textile on Wall Sconces, Pendants, Table and Floor lamps!  We see a great future in the Resolute/Carnegie partnership! Attractive lights with a beautiful and durable shade – how can we lose?

While we were traveling to New York, all the new images of us went up on the Resolute website. You can check them out in the Prosperity section http://resoluteonline.com/wp/products/category/solutions-fabric/prosperity/

We come in six standard colors but you can pick from the wide selection of Xorel options for your projects.
Let’s get together soon!

Thanks to Christian Montalbano for these great pictures of our Resolute/Carnegie booth space.
