Schoolhouse Electric is a unique lighting store. But this is the short description about it. The store is a showroom of the early century and the vintage accessories.
When was the last time you did something for the first time? This question may be recurrent but the answer is always a question mark. Now, it’s time for you to learn something or (re)discover an antique inspiration. The word is not that small and the concept is an unknown field, but life is all about discoveries, isn’t it? “1900-1950 American schoolhouse-style lighting” is something familiar? Maybe for you it isn’t but for Schoolhouse Electric, a store in New York, is.
They are masters of selling but the principle thing about them is the taste. 20th century lights: the plotline of this happy story which ending is far away. Antique lamps, vintage or deco are many of their items. Some people say that “is too unique to resist” and we might have to underline this reality.
Porcelain, metal, hand-painted, walnut, in yellow, in red… and the list is endless. Their catalogue is a “timely and timeless” treasure and the store too. Their main objective is to make people feel at home and their products can easily compose your first choices. If you love vintage things, a unique atmosphere with chairs from the 60s, lamps from the 50s and accessories that combine with this, this is The Store.
Light bulbs, lamps, fixtures, shades, kitchen, furniture, rugs, bath: another list for you to course and, maybe, to decorate your house. The early part of the XX century is in Portland by the hands of Brian Faherty, who was unsatisfied with the lack of vintage, authentic and cool lightings options in the market. It started with this passion and now it is an open showroom and probably, one of the ultimate cool places to add at your agenda.
