Description
"In the nineties, young designers and studio manufacturers were attracted to lighting because of the easy access and availability to CSA-approved sockets, wiring and tubes. Using a handful of inexpensive off-the-shelf parts, they fashioned high-design lighting ... Addison Lanier in Vancouver ... participated in this trend."
