The Dallas Market Center announces the launch of a new service for the design community: the Lighting Concierge.
The Lighting Concierge is an exclusive and complementary service that supports interior designers in the lighting of their projects. The concierge offers project planning assistance, new product insight, year-round access to lighting showrooms and insider access to direct lighting purchases. The Lighting Concierge is now available during business hours and is located in a dedicated area next to registration on the first floor of the Trade Mart.
Arturo Maluy, a 20-year lighting industry veteran, serves as lighting concierge. His knowledge ranges from lighting fixtures and fans to lighting control systems and light bulbs. He gives each client an understanding of how to successfully integrate lighting into design projects and how to find the right lighting.
The growing list of showrooms on March 3rdapprox and 4th Floor of the Trade Mart participating in Lighting Concierge includes Savoy House, Progress Lighting, Elk Home, Crystorama, Varaluz, Hinkley, Quoizel, DALS Lighting and Maxim Group Companies which includes Maxim Lighting, ET2 Contemporary Lighting and Studio M.
“We’re proud to be the first marketplace to make this helpful service available to all designers every day of the week,” said Cindy Morris, president and CEO of the Dallas Market Center. “Lighting is a stylish but often complex decision. Our light exhibitors have recognized this and are happy to help. That’s why we’re launching a service that allows our Lighting Concierge to be the lighting expert on a designer’s team.”
Designers are invited to make an appointment today or to stop by and meet Arturo to discuss lighting and design projects while enjoying complimentary coffee or champagne. Visit dallasmarketcenter.com/lighting/concierge for more information
