The new group show at Pavilion is centered around the use of light.

"Pavilion has a long standing passion for lighting", said co-owner Deborah Colman, "It was a natural progression to showcase new lighting and vintage lighting together".

This fascinating collection of artist/designers' work includes: Llot Llov, Berlin, Christien Meindertsma, Holland, Katrin Schnabel, professor at the School of the Art institute of Chicago, Tanya AguiƱiga, Los Angeles and vintage lighting from Victor Vasarely, and Mariyo Yagi plus photograms by Doug Fogelson and encaustic paintings by Lonny H White.

Included are works that inhabit both the art and functional worlds. The pieces by Llot Llot, and Christien Meindertsma are from an art workshop perspective, sculptural, lines in space, conceived as a way to communicate memory and ideas from one to another using knit wool and flax rope. They are also beautiful, functioning, lighting designed with an innovative use of traditional materials.

Photographer Doug Fogelson will use the medium of photogram/luminogram, a direct process of creating imagery with light, in a collaborative way with the artists work that will reflect upon the installation.

“After more than a decade of refining their vision collecting, editing, and presenting some of the best examples of vintage European design, Deborah Colman and Neil Kraus are now offering in home design consultation.

"After consulting informally for years, we decided it was time to share our design sensibilities with the public," Colman said. "Not only have we owned and operated Pavilion for the last 12 years, but we have been personal shoppers for many clients, finding specific pieces to help build their collections, and finish their environments. Over the years, many items never made it into the shop, but went directly to the client." We can offer consultation for finding that one special piece to help complete your space, or advice on building and refining your collection.

A fee based consultation of one to two hours, will generate a list of desired changes. Having sought out the best design over the years, pavilion/consult/design has put together an International network of resources and specialists they work with, for their expertise, to fulfill your needs.”
