Oggetti Pendant Lighting - Bijoux Graffiti and Miro


Ever since Benjamin Franklin discovered electricity, we’ve been harnessing it to warm our homes and see in the dark. As technology evolved, lighting has evolved with it. Today, we’re lucky to have so many choices in lighting, including traditional incandescent bulbs, fluorescent bulbs and LEDs.
Global Trends is proud to be a distributor for Oggetti Lighting. Gorgeous hanging fixtures that are hand painted to give off a warm glow in any atmosphere. These lights are perfect in restaurants, lobbies, dining areas, anywhere lighting is necessary.

Oggetti was founded in 1975 by Robert and Nancy Frehling. The Frehlings were already operating Nessa Gaulois in Miami, one of the finest gift, accessory and bridal stores. Their retail exposure made  them keenly aware of the preferences of affluent retail customers as well as the needs of the store owner. This  has informed their decision-making and product selection for Oggetti, keeping them always up-to-date and market-savvy.

Originally the entire collection was imported from Italy and marketed solely under the "Oggetti" trademark. In fact, the word "oggetti" means "objects" in Italian and is used to describe accessories for the home. In 1980 Oggetti began a furniture division, using "Tavola" as the trade name under the Oggetti umbrella. While many people attempt to copy Oggetti, they do so without the name of the artist, with objects often noticeably less attractive and rarely at better prices. Oggetti works closely with their stable of artists and craftsmen and continually strives to represent the best to their discerning customers.

Oggetti has a variety of products crafted and artistically designed on glass. Global Trends offers some unique collections of lighting masterpieces from Oggetti:

LED Lighting - LED Tree Lighting for Special Occasions

LED Lighting

 New to the lighting scene is the LED lighting. An LED gives off pure light in a rainbow of colors. LED lights are energy efficient, bright and are cooler than traditional bulbs. Another great thing about LEDs is that each LED has its own light and is independent of others in a series. If one light on the strand goes out, the rest of them continue to work!

The most ingenious LED product Global Trends carries is the LED Tree Lighting. The great thing about LEDs is that they are extremely efficient. They also run cooler and last so much longer than traditional bulbs. However, I think my favorite thing about LEDs is that if one bulb burns out, the rest stay lit! How many times have you wrapped Christmas lights around a tree or your porch, have one go out, and then have no light?! These bulbs are so advanced you can replace them individually.
  


So many people have been raving about these trees! They are gorgeous LED trees, shaped like Cherry Blossoms, Willows, Orange, and Palm trees. In addition to the traditional style trees, Global Trends has a group of fiber optic LED trees as well. My favorite is definitely the huge green Christmas tree. A combination of green fiber optic LEDs and traditional Cherry Blossom LEDs, it is just begging to be covered in ornaments to reflect its light! Here as part of a limited edition, once they’re gone, they’re gone!

The attention to detail doesn’t end with the placement or technology in the lights. Each metal trunk is
not just painted, but wrapped in a rubberized “bark” that looks like the real thing, and protects the tree
from the elements.

Designed for indoor or outdoor usage, the trees come with their own electrical transformer. The trees
will look great on a deck or “planted” out in your yard!
