There were many innovations to track lighting over the previous few years.  Long past are those gruesome track heads you remember from your childhood.  Today’s track lights come with sleek track design and a big choice of sizes, styles, and colors when it comes to trace light fixtures.  Track lighting is simple to install in a transform as it enables you to use the wiring already in place for your current ceiling fixtures.  Track lights are superb for highlighting ornamental elements in your home plus giving you centered task lighting.   

Track lighting is a versatile and ornamental answer to your lighting needs.  It provides you many great options when it comes to fixture style and placement.  Once the track is installed the lights can be targeted at countertops, walls, or anyplace else where you want to bring light.  Many track lighting systems let you vary the position of your track lighting fixtures if your wishes change. 

Installing modern track lighting is easiest if it is located in a room which already has an electrical box in the ceiling.  If you live in an older house with superseded lighting then it might be a smart thought to substitute it with track lighting.  Track lighting can be a good fit for many different parts of your house.  Down a long hallway track lighting can make the area more appealing and be used to spotlight design or other ornamental things on the wall.  Using a U formed track in your kitchen will give you the power to direct light to several different task areas.  Closets are an additional great place to install track lighting with different track heads concentrated on hanging cloths and shelves.  Cable track lighting is a good choice for those rooms with high ceilings as they permit you to hang the lights down where you want it. 

Designer Tejo Remy is hot and so are his lighting designs. The Dutch designer, Droog, features many of Remy’s designs around the world, giving a designer lighting crowd an artful experience with illuminating excellence. Always focused on the permeable boundaries of sustainable design, Remy proves that reclaimed and everyday materials can indeed delight us to reduce, reuse and recycle.

The famous Milk Bottle light, by Remy, invokes a simple sense of 50′s-era nostalgia. This striking product can be manipulated into a variety of lighting solutions. Capable of changing perspective wherever they are utilized, these lamps can both charm and inspire our personal living spaces. The single Milk Bottle lamp hangs independently, casting a subtle glow. The Droog Milk Bottle Chandelier is a collection of twelve individual bottle pendants, combined into one unusual light fixture. The modern chandeliers work best in spaces that echo their shape, mainly hallways, dining rooms or above kitchen islands.

“A Touch of Green”, held in Milan earlier this year, poured out widespread applause for Remy and his functional and contemporary designs. In Droog’s fifteen-year history, they have offered many innovative green design ideas, bringing displays of award winning design to the public through practical and simple solutions for lighting applications using the brightest and the best of designers and engineers.

Droog regularly taps the talent of young designers including Rody Graumans. Selected for inclusion in Droog’s first design collection, Graumans’ 85 Lamps Chandelier was also chosen for the permanent collection of The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Comprised of 15-watt bulbs and a bundle of black cords and sockets, this stunning display of light is used in many museums. Never could one imagine that simple discards could be arranged in such a graceful way. Less and more, the entire unit only weighs fifty-five pounds.

Creative in everything he touches, Arian Brekveld, designer, has a background in environmental and industrial projects and brings to Droog the Soft Hanging Lamp. By utilizing the old fashioned PVC drip method, he molds the traditional lamp into a soft, flexible globe for safety and beauty. Hanging blissfully from a matching cord, the plastics mesh as one to present a binded marriage and to make one wonder, ‘how do they do that’?

Droog continues to light the way with the newest innovative green design ideas, remaining at the forefront of modern lighting design trends. Recognizing that creative design enhances human experience, alters reactions and energizes performances, consumers have learned to count on Droog for their recognition of the mental or human side of sustainable design.
