Design Challenge
Provide decorative accent and task lighting above a kitchen island within a newly renovated industrial building without damaging the historic bricks and beams.Kable Lite Solution
With the ability to omit power and suspension points from above, Kable Lite can be used to solve many lighting challenges where lighting is desired within spaces with open architecture. Here, the designer smartly suspended two parallel runs of Kable Lite by attaching the systems directly to the wooden cabinetry where power access is readily available, then attaching beautiful Kiev pendants and task-oriented K-Bye-Bye heads to provide the well-balanced light within this impressive kitchen. This solution allowed the owners to avoid drilling holes into the antique walls or overhead beams, thus preserving the structure for years to come.Tech Lighting 2017 Full Line Catalog
