Visual Comfort x Waterford puts crystal in a contemporary new light
With the current turn toward neoclassicism plus a post-pandemic pendulum swing from humble and homey to glittering and glam, the style direction for lighting design couldn’t be more clear: Crystal is the material of the moment, bestowing intoxicating sparkles wherever it’s placed. Anticipating this aesthetic sea change, lighting experts Visual Comfort & Co. symbolically crossed the Atlantic to pair with its first European partner, a world-renowned manufacturer that has celebrated the possibilities of crystal since its founding in Waterford City, Ireland, in 1783. Combining the Houston-based company’s technological brilliance with breathtaking, centuries-old Irish craftsmanship, the dazzling debut collection of pendants, lamps, sconces and chandeliers magically bridges the traditional and the modern.

4 ways to tweak your contract to cover tariff-related risks
Despite the confusion and disorder that has descended on the design industry in the wake of recent tariff news, the current 90-day postponement on most of the new import taxes has afforded a temporary reprieve from some of the biggest anticipated swings in product pricing. Even so, a 10 percent tax on all imports—and a triple-digit levy on Chinese goods—is already in effect, and the costs are starting to make their way into designers’ invoices.
As vendors and importers ready themselves for a new trade landscape, many designers are doing the same, reexamining their contracts to better protect their firms from delays, price hikes and other hurdles that may follow future tariff hikes. BOH consulted legal experts and design professionals on how the right contract can help safeguard a design firm from the impact of tariffs.

underground speakeasy, we dove into the world of organized crime
with curiosity and style.
Huge thanks to everyone who joined us for this fun, educational, and slightly rebellious adventure. We made memories, shared laughs, and even picked up a few ideas for killer design details. 😉
