Marx- A reminder of Palm Springs
Permeated by the charm of American architecture of the 1920s and ‘30s, this lamp is fueled by inspiration with its slender curved line in satin stainless steel finish joined to the heftier structure in wood. The union of the different materials and the contrasting forms is further highlighted by a lattice of horizontal lines that vaguely recalls a musical score.

A combination of educational resources, cutting-edge technology, specifier buy-in and community involvement can protect the night sky
The words “summer night” call to mind a distinct set of happenings in the natural world. Crickets sound their nightly chorus in darkened yards and thickets, fireflies flash their whereabouts, moths pollinate the garden and bats hunt mosquitoes overhead. Meanwhile, on coastal beaches, sea turtle hatchlings await the cool of nighttime before emerging from sandy nests and scrambling toward the shore.
Humans have nocturnal habits characteristic of the season, too. We stay outside long after sunset for sporting events, backyard barbeques and outdoor dining—all under the glow of artificial lights. Some seek out patches of darkness to scan the sky for constellations, planets and shooting stars.
But views of the night sky are increasingly obscured by illuminated buildings, parks and streets, particularly in urban areas. And when we eventually go to sleep in darkened homes, the outdoor lights of houses and apartment buildings, yards and roadways often remain on until dawn—unintentionally disrupting nature’s rhythms of the night. Light pollution is a problem that is accelerating by about 10% per year, according to the World Atlas of Artificial Night Sky Brightness, causing more than a third of Earth’s population—including 60% of Europeans and nearly 80% of North Americans—to lose their ability to see the Milky Way.
