Duke Ellington<\/p>\n

\u00a0\"Mid-Century<\/a><\/p>\n

Born two centuries ago, the eternal jazz pianist Duke Ellington<\/strong> first saw the light of day on the 29th April,\u00a01899. Having had to endure many of the racial boundaries of his time, Ellington began taking piano lessons at the early age of seven. The pianist\u2019s childhood friends,\u00a0noticing his casual, offhand manner, and his dapper dress gave him the bearing of a young nobleman, thus beginning the \u201cDuke\u201d era.<\/sup><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Mid-Century<\/a><\/p>\n

It was with the guidance of pianist and band leader Oliver \u201cDoc\u201d Perry, that Duke learned to read sheet music, project a professional style, and improve his technique. Later, in 1919, he met drummer Sonny Greer, who encouraged Ellington\u2019s ambition to become a professional musician. This gave the pianist strength to build his own business from his previous painter day-job: when a customer asked him to make a sign for a dance or party, he would ask if they had musical entertainment; if not, Ellington would offer to play for the occasion.<\/p>\n

\"Mid-Century<\/a><\/p>\n

And we all know that from there, Duke Ellington would come to be one of the most famous jazz pianists of all times, as well as was an amazing bandleader who composed thousands of scores over his 50-year career.\u00a0He created one of the most distinctive ensemble sounds in Western music and continued to play what he called \u201cAmerican Music\u201d until shortly before his death in 1974.<\/p>\n

\"Mid-Century<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cJazz today, as always in the past, is a matter of thoughtful creation, not mere unaided instinct.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Inspired by Duke Ellington\u2019s huge success, DelightFULL<\/a> created \u201cDuke Floor Lamp<\/a>\u201d and two gorgeous versions of \u201cDuke Suspension Lamp<\/a>\u201c. They\u2019ll be with a 50% discount<\/span> until the 30th of April!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Mid-Century<\/a><\/p>\n

The music of the great pianist Duke Ellington has an eternal inspiration: the floor lamp Duke<\/a>. Duke is an elegant floor fixture with a short silhouette and a single swing.<\/p>\n

\"Mid-Century<\/a><\/p>\n

Much like the musician\u2019s creations, Duke suspension lamp<\/a> is graceful<\/strong> and brings a sophisticated<\/strong> touch to any interior design. Its sleek lines create a refined ambience, making justice to the noble name\u00a0Duke.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Mid-Century<\/a><\/p>\n

This other stunning version of the Duke suspension lamp<\/a> is more classic, making it the right lighting element for a more vintage interior design. Nonetheless, the same key elements such as sophistication and elegance can be found in this design.<\/p>\n
