Schonbek is an acknowledged leader in the lighting industry, and its annual prize has helped to set the industry standard for a number of years. The company’s reputation in room design is reflected in the popularity of its original chandeliers in cutting-edge home interiors.
To select last year's contest winner, Schonbek representatives looked at 1,732 home photos, showing extravagantly decorated rooms lit with crystal chandeliers, before singling out the Strauss family home as the most outstanding achievement of 2003. Congratulations to Colin Casey of Cooper-Electric, whose astonishing work was rewarded with a Grand Prize from Schonbek.

As for the Strauss family, they were so pleased with their new lighting system that they naturally thought Colin would be an ideal contestant for the Schonbek Prize. Colin's ingenuity, as well as his extensive experience in lighting, resulted in excellent building design and product use. Indeed, even the most famous interior designers would be envious.
While Colin was delighted to win, he took even greater pleasure in seeing the look of satisfaction on the face of the happy homeowners when they pushed the button on their new lighting system.
