New products for Luna Lighting, Lounge 22 on display at The Special Event

FAIRFAX, VA (January 26, 2011) CORT Event Furnishings, the nation’s largest event furniture, lighting and accessories rental company, introduces products for 2011 from the Luna Lighting collection and Lounge 22 brand. CORT is the only furniture rental company that actively designs and manufactures furniture and products specifically for event designers and producers.

“CORT researches and develops proprietary products based on feedback from event designers to provide unique solutions,” said Kevin Dana, director of marketing and product development. “The Endless Seating collection, a modular seating system introduced in 2010, has been a runaway success and was specifically designed for event planners looking for seating options that allow them to be creative and configure seating to their exact specifications.”

CORT’s new Essex Collection, a sophisticated two-tone sofa and chair, is introduced to the Lounge 22 product suite. The Essex Collection creates visual interest with a black ultra suede trim and offers a fresh spin on the current Hollywood glamour trend seen in event décor. This collection can be seen at The Special Event show Jan. 25-28 in Phoenix, Ariz. paired with new Jettison triangular shaped lighted tables.

The Bali sofa is also being added to the Lounge22 collection for 2011. The Bali sofa is an upscale gallery piece that coordinates with the Bali chair and features a seat back that seems to float above the cushions. Available in black, white or camel, Bali features a functional design intended to evoke mid-century cool.

CORT also introduces Luna Transformations, a seamless solution for incorporating patterns into décor to add visual interest. A translucent adhesive, Luna Transformations are offered in four different patterns that are intended to evoke global themes and diverse cultural backgrounds. Transformations can be added to any Luna Lighting furniture and are available nationwide March 1. The Luna Lighting collection is a battery-powered LED furniture line that offers an energy-efficient and flexible alternative to plug-in lights and cumbersome cords.
