    New Designs, Finishes Offer Transitional Feel, Eclectic Touch

    "Our new Tiffany offerings play off of the classic, old-world craftsmanship the Tiffany style is known for with a fresh, current feel," said Jan Shaffer, director of Kichler's Tiffany line. "With non-traditional finishes, textures and arrangements, we're making our Tiffany line into one that appeals to both the long-time Tiffany lover and the contemporary homeowner looking for a special accent piece."

    Sliced Stone
    In an expanded offering, the simplicity of art glass is coupled with translucent sliced stone in a collection featuring a table lamp with an illuminated base and a soft oatmeal linen shade, a three-light and a five-light chandelier and an ADA fluorescent wall sconce in an Olde Bronze finish.

    Casual Cool
    Tiffany gets casual in a new art glass family with a hint of Asian influence and a Tannery Bronze finish. The family's hexagonal glass features warm golden ivory tones with a root beer wavy glass trim. A delicate filigree pattern lines each shade and an amber sphere accent adds a dynamic to several pieces in the family. A three-light island light, a semi-flush, a mini-pendant and a pendant are available as part of this eclectic collection.

    More Mosaics
    Building on the popularity of Kichler's existing Tiffany mosaics, this collection expands with art glass in trendy confetti colors and a contemporary Brushed Nickel finish. Featuring an ADA fluorescent sconce, this collection also adds an incandescent inverted pendant and a semi-flush fixture.

    Tiffany Trimmings
    Tiffany combines with two other art elements - swirled art glass and shaved stone - for a stylish aesthetic. An opaque swirled art glass is trimmed with complementing Tiffany pearlescent circular glass trim, beveled baguette accents and an Antique Pewter finish in a semi flush, a 22" inverted pendant and a two-light wall sconce.
