"The success of our business has
been built on creativity and the lighting possibilities through the
use of Fiberstars' EFO technology are limitless," said Rick
Mulligan. "The unique fixture designs in our studio showcase the
impact EFO can have on an elegant interior design and I'm excited to
share these capabilities with current and future clients."
Based in Cologne, Germany, Rick
Mulligan has designed for Tina Turner and other celebrities and is
the host of his own long-running German television show, "Rick's
Wohnwelten" ("Rick's Living Worlds"). His style is to focus on
bathroom and kitchen furniture and spaces and then design around
them. He became interested in the possibilities of using fiber optic
lighting because of its beauty, design possibilities, and
technological advantages. For instance, because fiber optic lighting
carries no electricity, it is ideal for bathroom and kitchen spaces,
where water poses a constant hazard. But Fiberstars EFO light is
also brilliant, with output levels equivalent to halogen bulbs, but
consuming only a quarter of the energy of halogens. By combining
these attributes with the ability to change colors, design unique
fixtures and utilize cutting edge materials (like a glowing fiber
shower curtain), Mulligan has designed dazzling interiors, some of
which he demonstrates in his Duesseldorf studio. He is currently
planning to open other design shops featuring Fiberstars
technologies in Vienna, Munich and other European cities. The Rick
Mulligan showroom can be found at
www.rmbaeder.de .
"Rick's eagerness to work with us
is a testament to the versatility of EFO technology which lends
itself to the artistic as well as the functional elements of
lighting," said Fiberstars CEO John Davenport. Bernard Mann,
managing director of Fiberstars' LBM division, added, "Lighting is a
key component of interior design and the strength of our offering
lies in the adaptability of EFO our technology combined with its
efficiency in comparison to traditional lighting alternatives. We're
thrilled to be working with Rick and his team and look forward to
contributing to the imaginative and creative designs which have been
a staple of his numerous installation projects."
