tribeca - schoolhouse electric
Schoolhouse Electric was a short walk from the office down to Tribeca. It's a store i'd been meaning to go in for a few years but was a little too out of the way before now (vestry and hudson st (see what i mean?).
From their website "Between 1900 and 1950 schoolhouse-style shades and light fixtures were widely used in private residences and institutional settings, including schools, galleries and libraries. But by the 1960s only a handful of designs remained in production. Our collection represents some of the best examples of true American lighting design and is the inspiration behind Schoolhouse Electric Co."
Really cool store with, of course, amazing light fixtures (i want so many of them) but also a really cool general design theme of all kinds of schoolhouse stuff like vintage globes, desks, science tables, & chalkboards. very inspirational.
