Hamptons Style And Pendant Trends Drive Kitchen Lighting Choices In Australia
Designer Chandelier Australia, a Geelong-based lighting retailer with a showroom also in Sydney, is seeing strong interest in Hamptons-style fittings and pendant lighting for kitchen renovations and new builds. As Australian homeowners invest more in open-plan living spaces, lighting design is playing a central role in defining both function and aesthetic.
The company's collection of Hamptons chandeliers includes classic white and chrome finishes, beaded details, and coastal-inspired silhouettes that align with the popular design style. These pieces are particularly sought after for dining areas, kitchen islands, and entryways.
Also in demand are kitchen pendant lights, which offer a practical yet decorative solution for task lighting. Designer Chandelier's range includes single-drop and multi-light designs in a variety of sizes to suit different ceiling heights and room layouts.
As part of Hatch Brands, Designer Chandelier continues to grow its reputation for innovative design and quality.
'Our customers are looking for lighting that brings both character and versatility to their homes,' said Lance Peters, CEO of Hatch Brands. 'It's about finding pieces that enhance the space but are also easy to live with. The demand for Hamptons and pendant styles really speaks to how Australians are personalising their living spaces.'
All lighting is shipped from the company's North Geelong warehouse, with support for international orders and remote design consultations. The showrooms in Geelong and Sydney allow clients to view a selection of fixtures in person, and online orders can be placed via the full eCommerce site.
Further details can be found at designerchandelier.com.au. Business owners interested in acquisition opportunities or partnership discussions can connect with Lance Peters via LinkedIn or through the Hatch Brands website.

Queenstown open for skiing action on Saturday
It is not too shabby for an opening day. NZSki chief executive Paul Anderson says both The Remarkables and Coronet Peak will open as scheduled from 9am on Saturday, with the latter opening from top to bottom. At Coronet, all the beginner conveyor lifts, the Meadows Chair and Coronet Express would be in action — Rocky Gully and Green gates would not be open, "but we'll be looking to add those in as soon as we can stitch that together". At The Remarkables, the learners' conveyors, Alta and Curvey Basin would be open for action, with Sugar Bowl and Shadow Basin still to come, Mr Anderson said. "Our whole objective in getting both mountains open on the same day is to send a really, really strong signal to the market that ... Queenstown's open for business, and hopefully you see that switch flipped and the town gets busy very quickly." Mr Anderson said last weekend's perfectly timed snowfall had been supplemented by a huge amount of snowmaking, which he believed had been the longest period of snowmaking in Queenstown for a decade. "And the new guns we've got up there, they are just incredible." At The Remarkables, for example, the whales of snow from the guns were higher than the conveyor covers. "It just gives you an idea of the amount of snow they were belting out." He estimated Coronet was opening with between 60cm and 120cm on trail, and about 60cm at The Remarkables. "We're kind of expecting the locals to come out in force once they hear how good the on-trail skiing is ... It'll be nice to get a bit of a dump before school holidays, but with or without it, we're going to have a good school holidays, I can see that." Cardrona, which along with Treble Cone is owned by Queenstown-based company RealNZ, will also open on Saturday. Chief mountains officer Laura Hedley said thanks to an "incredible effort" from the snowmaking team, and some help from Mother Nature, the McDougall's Chondola and the learner conveyors would be spinning. Skiers and boarders would be able to access McDougalls' trail and the beginners' area from Saturday, while the North Face Cardrona parks crew would also put in a few features in McPark, the temporary early-season terrain park under McDougalls. "Our new base area building is nearing completion, and we are aiming to get our new Cardrona Corner retail shop open on Saturday, too," Ms Hedley said. To reflect the early season offering, Cardies day passes will be at early season rates until Whitestar Express opens. Treble Cone is scheduled to open on June 28.

Sex workers battle Queenstown strip shows
A sex workers' collective is calling for a new Queenstown bar featuring strip shows to be shut down as it is not operating under an "adult entertainment" liquor licence. The Ultimate Man Cave Seek — 40% owned by controversial Christchurch-based strip club chain Calendar Girls — opened last Friday in underground Church St premises formerly occupied by the Seek nightclub. Promotions for the venue's first two nights depicted two strippers around a pole and promised "lap dancers, private rooms, karaoke, gaming — whatever you desire we're here to provide". However, Calendar Girls founder James Samson said the bar was primarily a sports tavern, which only had Calendar Girls strip shows, lap dances and pole dancing on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights from 9pm. Early this year, Christchurch-based Alan Samson Ltd, whose sole director is James Samson's mother, Vicki Samson, bought 40% of Seek Night Club Ltd with the intention of buying the remaining shares over 18 months. Mr Samson is barred from owning a company after being jailed on drugs charges. Seek Night Club Ltd then applied for an adult entertainment liquor licence, which attracted a total of 71 written objections. The Queenstown Lakes District Council confirmed "there is currently no date set for a hearing". In its application, Seek Night Club Ltd said when it reopened it would remain a tavern until its adult entertainment liquor licence was granted. Sex workers union Fired Up Stilettos chairwoman Bianca Beebe said "we were really surprised to learn they're able to reopen on an expired tavern licence, particularly since the police objected very strongly to the idea you can operate a strip club on a tavern licence". Though that licence had expired, "you're allowed to continue operating your licence if you have already applied for a renewal" — which had been in train since mid-last year, the council confirmed. A tavern licence permits "entertainment", which Ms Beebe said she thought was being used as a loophole to allow Calendar Girls to run strip shows at the venue. "Unfortunately, neither in statutory or case law does it define what entertainment is." She said the situation was "making a mockery of all of Queenstown's restrictions, and honestly I don't understand how every business owner who has a legitimate licence isn't furious". "I would ask if Queenstown council wants to be a joke. "Seek/Calendar Girls were told they cannot operate a strip club on a tavern licence, and here they are explicitly advertising for and operating a strip club under a tavern licence." Ms Beebe questioned whether the council was going to be played for a fool, "or are you going to do something about this?" Queenstown Mayor Glyn Lewers said his regulatory team was preparing a report for the district licensing committee on whether the venue could operate under its existing tavern licence due to the "entertainment" provision. "There is case law that defines what a tavern is, but there's nothing that talks about entertainment that we can see. "From my point of view, there is a grey area. "Look, they might be testing the limits on 'entertainment' with respect to a tavern, but I'm not the decision-maker here." Asked if lap dancing and nude dancing were normal entertainment in a tavern, Mr Lewers said "I might be old school". "[For me] it's turning up for a jug with your mates with a bit of pool and watching a bit of sport on TV and the occasional meat raffle." Asked if council could apply some urgency to its decision-making , he responded: "look, like with all legislation from central government, they've got timeframes to meet". As for the adult entertainment licence application, "we'll prepare a report and take into account all the submissions". "That report will then go to the district licensing committee, and if the applicant wants to pursue that licence, that will go to a hearing and that hearing will be made public, and it will be on our website." Mr Samson, however, said he would now withdraw the application for an adult entertainment licence. Last September, a petition trying to stop Calendar Girls coming to Queenstown was launched by a dancer from existing local strip club Soho. Spurred by concerns over Mr Samson's link to Calendar Girls and over the chain's alleged "labour exploitation", it attracted 1724 signatures before it was pulled by its host website.
