PATTERN BOOK OF LIGHTING by Thomas P. Fuchs
Available February 2014
This much-needed volume records a comprehensive selection of classic models of lighting, from traditional to contemporary.
Soon to be the essential sourcebook for interior designers and architects, this book will also be an inspiration for
lighting designers.
Author Thomas Fuchs is a well-regarded lighting designer who works most often with artisans in Murano to execute his designs.
Drawn to the Murano artisans whose long manufacturing history goes all the way back to the 1600s, the designer likes to use glass because
"the medium offers the design additional layers... texture, color, luminosity." Fuchs adds "glass is magic... one day it is sand, pigment
and ash... and the next day it is an object."
