Stylex is now partnering with ANEW to enact a sustainable take-back program. ANEW, which strives to “do what’s right with what’s left,” will help Stylex continues its green mission by diverting landfill-destined materials into new hands.

Through this program, architectural goods, fixtures, and furniture (including Stylex seating) are transferred to a local charity, extending product lifetime and reducing environmental impact. The effects of product repurposing are impressively comprehensive. It raises corporate social responsibility, strengthens community networks by providing materials to those in need, and mitigates climate change by reducing landfill input.

Stylex has incorporated the take-back program into its corporate strategy, marking the company’s commitment to waste reduction, social welfare, and communal responsibility.

Tampa, FL, November 18, 2016– SLV Lighting introduces a collection of Mid-Century Modern inspired lighting. The I-RING marries space-age style, with modern LED energy efficiency. Designed by Andreas Robertz, this 1950s influenced lighting series is steel constructed with matt white finish accented with red textile cables.
"I-RING is stylish and evocative of the era, without being noisy,” explains SLV Marketing Manager, Rita Knipper. The I-RING not only evokes mid-century style but provides ample illumination without demanding too much attention or imposing a style on the room. The simple lines make it suitable in a variety of décor in both residential and commercial environments. The shade on the I-RING is totally open and the lamp is not visible, similar to many mid-century fixtures.
This stylistically simple fixture is offered in a pendant, wall and desk luminaire and can be seen at LightOvations showroom #TM3309 or at SLVLighting.com.

A sophisticated interlocking joint attaches the curved shell of the seat and back to a horizontal backrest. This two-piece construction results in a strong and exceptionally comfortable seat.
