Floored by FLOR
We’re used to the unexpected, even tickled by it. There are a few things that totally baffle though. One of those is how did our Four-Arm Candelabras end up in the FLOR catalog as props on a table? We were [...]
Dunes and Duchess Take on the Oscars
Last night we watched the Oscars as intensely as we would any major sporting event. Yes, we wanted to know which of our favorite movies won which awards, but more than anything we wanted to see who wore what. We’ve [...]
Atlanta Was Hot!
Literally. It was 70 degrees most of the time we were there for the America’s Mart Gift Show. Our new color, Palm Beach, Darling, certainly reflected the balmy mood. It brought a bit of sunshine to the gray, rainy days [...]

Molly Hirsch Tablescape—Inspiration for the Holidays
What continuously amazes us is what designers do with our pieces. It’s almost like we see our lamps or sconces or candelabras in an entirely different light in the hands of talented people. We thought we would share this beautiful [...]

A Double Shot in Rue Magazine!
The holidays came with a doubly pleasant surprise—not one, but three photos of Dunes and Duchess pieces in the super cool Rue magazine. Now one feature we had a head’s up about because it was a project that our dear [...]
Candelabras Make Cover of Chicago Magazine!

What to do with a Candelabra
I’ve been toying around on Houzz of late, trying to get a feel for what goes on there, what people are sharing. I think it’s a great way to share our candelabras, lamps and ideas with people, but would love [...]
Perspective Magazine Loves Dunes and Duchess!
We loved flipping through the new Perspective New England magazine and seeing our International Lifesaving Orange candelabra and all the wonderful things the editors had to say about it! We actually blinked twice when we saw that it was more [...]

Design on a Dime in NYC
In years past we had read about Design on a Dime, the ultimate interior design event in New York, which benefits Housing Works, an organization fighting to end AIDS and homelessness. We never imagined that we would be participating and [...]
A Touch of Burlap Never Hurts!
As glossy and shiny as our Dunes and Duchess candelabras, lamps, and sconces are we though a little roughness might do them some good. We are so pleased to announce that we’re now carrying burlap shades for our four and [...]
Happy Easter from Dunes and Duchess!

My favorite lamp ever.
She’s huge. Literally. At 34 inches high and with a span of 20 inches across she’s no shrinking violet. Big and glossy, she’s the Dunes and Duchess four-arm candelabra lamp. She’s an electrified version of our signature candelabra. Sometimes I [...]
