“I have been incorporating Hudson Valley Lighting’s classically-inspired collections in many of my interior design projects throughout the years and their quality and attention to detail is unsurpassed in the industry," said Jamie Drake. “I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with a brand who takes pride in the design of every aspect of each fixture; from the way the light illuminates from the fixture, to making sure the light output looks good from every angle. I’ve also watched the company evolve with bolder design choices, which is right up my alley. Hudson Valley Lighting also shares my love for mixing genres and periods to create dynamic, one-of-a-kind art forms. I look forward to creating a series of fixtures that incorporate my personal touch and flair as part of Hudson Valley’s 2016 collections and beyond.”
In addition to Drake’s commitment to creating new lighting designs, he will also play a large role in the launch efforts including a large-scale unveiling of his first collections to the Littman Brand’s dealer, distributor and sales network at Dallas International Lighting Market in January 2016, media interviews and other live events.
