Lighting and electrical company ESC Ltd and designer vintage clothier and home furnishings and accessories store, Orange Bay Company, celebrated their grand opening yesterday of their combined showroom with a ribbon-cutting ceremony presided over by Minister of Justice Kim Wilson.The ceremony officially opened the completed 8,000 sq ft showroom at Mill Creek Road in Pembroke, although the showroom was opened unofficially to customers earlier this year.According to ESC, their new showroom allows customers to interact with the fixtures on display, enabling them to envision how a particular light or ceiling fan would look and function in their home or office.“We hope to offer the community a unique shopping experience,” said Glenn Davis, owner and principal buyer for ESC. “Our customers have always come to us to purchase bulbs, light fixtures and electrical supplies, but now they will be able to find home accessories and other unique products.“We’re delighted to be sharing the space with Orange Bay Company, an impressive consignment store that offers customers furniture and clothing. We feel we’ve created a fun, “one stop shop” for Bermuda’s homeowners who are seeking to upgrade their spaces.”Within Orange Bay's expanded premises, a wider range of gently-used home furnishings, artwork and vintage designer clothing and accessories are on display than at their previous Harvey Road, Paget location.The store, established in 2009, has constantly freshened inventory consisting of high-quality, hand-selected items consigned, donated or purchased for sale.“The new, larger showroom has allowed us to put more inventory on display and expand our line of vintage designer clothing,” said Delight Morris, who co-owns Orange Bay Company with her husband Rudy. “And there are definite synergies that arise from being co-located with ESC Ltd.“People who are updating or renovating their homes and come to either Orange Bay Company or ESC Ltd as their intended destination are delighted to find interesting merchandise on both sides of the showroom. Our offerings are definitely complementary.”The new showroom is a contemporary space that features environmentally friendly finishes created from recycled or green products. It features energy efficient LED lighting throughout. Outdoor displays were fabricated from used pallets, and even the hand railing at the entrance to the showroom was stained with used motor oil. The showroom boasts ample parking and is conveniently, centrally located.ESC is open from 7.30am to 5pm, Monday through Friday, and 8am to 4pm on Saturday.Orange Bay Company is open from 10am to 4pm from Wednesday through Saturday.See www.royalgazette.com for more photos of the new showroom
