HIGH POINT, NC — Fine Art Handcrafted Lighting (www.finearthl.com) is thrilled to announce the launch of EMBARK by Barclay Butera in partnership with esteemed interior designer, Barclay Butera (www.BarclayButera.com). This luxury lighting line will debut at the High Point Market from October 26th-30th.
EMBARK by Barclay Butera is the first line from this exclusive collaboration, featuring stunning designs by Barclay Butera brought to life by the skilled artisans at Fine Art Handcrafted Lighting. Each piece in the collection is a true work of art, showcasing Butera’s signature style and Fine Art’s stunning studio glass, dedication to quality, and attention to detail.
“We’ve known Barclay and his team for many years and have often discussed a potential collaboration. When the time came for Barclay to launch his Barclay Butera Couture brand, he approached us as his partner for luxury lighting. Barclay’s renowned status in the interior design world, along with his successful product licensing partnerships, made this collaboration an exciting opportunity for us.
What truly sealed the deal were his unique and inspiring product concepts, which our design team and artisans have turned into stunning works of art,” said René Quintana, co-owner of Fine Art Handcrafted Lighting. “Working with Barclay and his team has been a pleasure—the exchange of ideas and collaborative effort has resulted in a product offering that embodies the essence of both Barclay Butera Couture and Fine Art Handcrafted Lighting.”
The collection includes unique designs ranging from chandeliers and sconces for interior spaces. The pieces are distinguished by marine-inspired hues, moody amber glass and contemporary white-chic tones, alongside naturally inspired shapes like waves and sails.
“There is a very upscale and bespoke element to EMBARK,” said Butera. “The handcrafted designs will feature exquisite wavy glass with three distinct moods: the white has a contemporary feel, the amber evokes a moody vibe, and the blue offers a subtle nod to maritime style. I am so honored to be working with this amazing company that has unparalleled product development capabilities. It is such a pleasure to collaborate with them.”
EMBARK by Barclay Butera collection for Fine Art Handcrafted Lighting is available at Fine Art Handcrafted Lighting headquarters in Miami, and Fine Art Handcrafted showrooms at Dallas Market Center and High Point. Open to the trade, by appointment only.
Additional Product Images will be available by the end of October.
