People Who Love P&C

I absolutely love the P&C articles and newsletters. Of the newsletters I receive regularly from ASID or Interior Design LiveWire, etc., yours captures me the most for relevant information and plain joy of reading. Happy Anniversary!

Term Definition
torchère

(pronounced tor-SHARE)

A very sensual word originating from the French expression for torch. Quite appropriate seeing that we now use it either to mean a light fixture that sits on the floor and emanates indirect light up towards the ceiling, or a tall, decorative stand for candles. That’s one huge candelabra.
