Hudson Valley Lighting Group unveiled interior designer and founder of Kate Marker Interiors, Kate Marker as Mitzi’s, a Hudson Valley Lighting Group brand, newest Tastemaker. The partnership brings Marker’s signature approach of warm, layered and livable interiors into the world of lighting through timeless silhouettes, natural materials, tactile textures and thoughtful details designed to bring character and ease to every room.
The collaboration is the latest addition to Mitzi Tastemakers, a program that brings together a dynamic group of interior designers, artists and creative voices to translate their individual points of view into original lighting collections.
Founder and principal designer of Chicago-based Kate Marker Interiors, Marker has spent more than two decades developing an aesthetic rooted in approachable elegance, classic architecture and authentic living. Her philosophy, that a home should tell the story of the people who live there, made her a natural fit for the Tastemakers program and served as the foundation for her debut Mitzi collection.
A sense of personal storytelling extends to the collection’s names themselves. Each family within the 25 SKUs is named for someone who has played a meaningful role in Marker’s life, including her children, nieces and nephews, grandparents and other loved ones.
The partnership also reflects the broader vision behind Mitzi Tastemakers, creating a platform where a designer’s highly personal point of view can meet the capabilities and lighting expertise of Hudson Valley Lighting Group. With Marker, that collaboration results in a collection that is unmistakably rooted in her world while offering the versatility, quality and considered design central to Mitzi.
