Niermann Weeks at Edward Ferrell/Lewis Mittman

Eleanor McKay, CEO of Niermann Weeks, talked to about 60 designers today at a luncheon at the EF/LM showroom about “Life after Incandescent.” Not only did she entertain everyone with her very outspoken views, (thankfully, that pesky pc concept doesn’t seem to bother her,) but she gave some really honest opinions about CFL and LED lights. One is ugly, the other is not quite competent yet. So what do we in the “beautify the world” industry do? We make ourselves heard that lights need to look good too, and as a last resort - hoard those chandelier lights!
