Bright Things Happening at Trendir

About this time last year LED shower heads were all the talk.  This year the new buzz is about converting a larger portion of your bathroom to chromotherapy. I discovered this new application while visiting Trendir.

Antonio Lupi’s Cromobox shower kit incorporates LED lights with fixed decorative shower panels. The Cromobox offers a full range of color to so you can add the color you are missing into your chromotherapy.

Chromotherapy is an ancient form of healing which relies on the use of light waves; light waves have the ability to safely penetrate the body without harm or injury. Different colored light waves are believed to rebalance a body’s energy centers, otherwise understood as chi. Through exposure to specific colored lights, such energy centers, also called chakras are rebalanced, replenished, and the natural and optimum functioning of the body is restored.

An Orange shower in the morning is stimulating.  Orange is warm, cheering, non-constricting. Orange has a freeing action upon the body and mind, relieving repressions. Orange shows new possibilities and other options in life. Stimulates creative thinking and enthusiasm, and helps assimilate new ideas.

A Violet shower in the evening is soothing.  Violet and purple heal melancholy, hysteria, delusions and bring spiritual insights and renewal. These colors slow down an over-active heart; bring sleep and boost immunity. Soothe mental and emotional stress, decrease sensitivity to pain.

Look for the new Chicago Antonio Lupi Showroom to open in April.

The New White House Designer

The Obamas have named Michael S. Smith as their Interior Designer for the White House interiors.

Smith is known for his inventive style of mixing Old World classicism with very contemporary settings.

His style can be called a blend of European tradition and American modernism. The result is a comfortable elegance, a non-theatrical look that is ultimately very understated in its presentation.           Congratulations Michael!
