Historic Seattle looks at lighting

Historic Seattle is offering a class on mid-century lighting with Rejuvenation senior designer and historian Bo Sullivan from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, April 12 at Rejuvenation at 2910 First Ave. S.

Sullivan will lead a “shopping trip” through the pages of original Atomic Age lighting catalogues to see what people were buying for their ramblers and split-levels. You won’t meet Charles Eames, Herman Miller, or George Nelson on this excursion into the middlebrow (though their fingerprints might be evident), but you just might see your grandparents in a new light.

Sullivan specializes in American period lighting, hardware, millwork, and residential architecture from 1880-1960. Tickets are $8 for Historic Seattle members, $5 for students and $10 for everybody else. Register online at http://www.historicseattle.org or call (206) 622-6952.
