The Current

A Rocky Mountain refuge with a Wild West spirit, the longstanding and ever-evolving Aspen institution, Hotel Jerome, has played host to corporate barons and ski bums, cowboys and socialites alike since the silver rush of the late 1800s. At the time, it was the first building beyond the Mississippi to be fully equipped with electricity, so it’s only fitting that some of our lights would be a part of its most recent reinvention.      

This winter, the comforts of home mean more than ever before as we all have a new appreciation for the safety and security well-designed environments can provide for resting and retreating. Beyond contributing to an overall aesthetic, our lights have a decidedly purpose-driven appeal in the privacy of these inner sanctums.

Nestled in the foothills of New Hampshire’s White Mountains, on the shores of Kezar Lake, Boston-based interior designer Heather Wells is putting a fresh spin on a family tradition... 

As we anticipate the holidays and the colder months ahead, we’re reminded of the gift of nature’s beauty in the form of freshly fallen snow. At once making everything appear whiter and brighter outside and calmer and cozier inside, a powder-covered landscape sets the scene for the season’s most magical moments.

Perhaps it’s the altitude that produces the distinct attitude that is most pervasive in the Mountains. Just getting to these rarefied alpine destinations can be a challenge unto itself, so for those who call them home or make pilgrimages to their peaks year after year, a similarly optimistic spirit prevails. For overcoming these obstacles is to reap the rewards of solitude and contentment that only this unmarred environment can bestow.
