On the heels of its 45th anniversary, Kalco Lighting, a leading manufacturer of luxury lighting and furniture designs, is unveiling a newly renovated lighting showroom at Dallas Market Center. The showroom will display decorative designs from Kalco, its luxury lighting line Allegri Crystal by Kalco and its furniture line Modern Elements under one roof. The grand opening will be celebrated with a ribbon cutting ceremony during Lightovation: Dallas International Lighting Show, Jan. 8-11.
The renovation features a sprawling 4,000-sq.-ft. space with luxurious elements, including Italian-influenced marble flooring and trending designs, from naturally inspired to modern lodge, as the centerpiece. The open layout provides an airy, elegant feel while the plush seating throughout adds to the rich ambiance and inspirational atmosphere.
“Mirroring the fresh and luxurious design of our High Point Market showroom, the vision behind this new showroom is to give buyers, designers and media an intimate and immersive experience with our handcrafted lighting,” said Riki Lent, senior vice president of Kalco Lighting and Allegri by Kalco. “Premium materials and quality craftsmanship are the center of both the Kalco and Allegri philosophy. Our 45th anniversary marks the ideal time to come together as one to celebrate our strength and unity.”
Kalco Lighting opened its first showroom at Dallas Market Center in 1992, first sharing a space with Teiber & Co. before having its own location. Allegri Crystal also opened a showroom in Dallas following its successful launch in 2011. After making an entrance in the Dallas lighting market, Kalco and Allegri by Kalco expanded, becoming one of the first lighting manufacturers to open a showroom at the World Market Center Las Vegas in 2008 before opening an additional showroom at High Point Market in North Carolina in 2023.
“There is so much design history to be celebrated between Kalco and Allegri,” sayid Takayuki Ishii, award-winning vice president of design and development at Kalco Lighting and Allegri Crystal, who joined the manufacturer in 2015 as a product designer. “Over the years, our design team has explored various design styles, drawing inspirations from jewelry, abstract art and materials found in nature— it all can be discovered within the four walls of our showrooms.”
