New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Leading lighting retailer Lamps Plus today announced that it has aligned with DreamWorks Animation to launch a new line of officially licensed lamp shades and lighting in connection with the studio's new animated family feature film, "HOME," which will be in theaters nationwide March 27. The Lamps Plus designs are made-to-order with hand-assembled shades that feature the film's lovable character, "Oh," making them a perfect way to bring the movie magic home.
In conjunction with the launch of the licensed product, Lamps Plus will host a national sweepstakes in which one lucky person will win a private screening of the film for 100 friends and family. Participants can enter today through April 3 via the company's Facebook page at Facebook.com/LampsPlus.
Lamps Plus will promote the officially licensed shades in its catalogs, store locations, emails, website, and across its social media channels throughout the partnership. The licensed "HOME" lighting products are available now through December 2015, and can be found on the company's website at LampsPlus.com/Home-Movie.
"Our commitment to creating and offering innovative products that help consumers make their houses 'home' made this alliance with DreamWorks a natural fit for us," said
Dennis Swanson, President and CEO of Lamps Plus. "In the movie, there's an entertaining scene in which the invading Boov find themselves in a lamp store that is similar to our retail locations, which have served as a lighting resource for the entertainment industry for decades, especially in the Southern California area."
"HOME" introduces audiences to Oh, a lovable misfit from another planet who lands on Earth and finds himself on the run from his own people, when he forms an unlikely friendship with an adventurous girl named Tip who is on a quest of her own. Through a series of comic adventures with Tip, Oh comes to understand that being different and making mistakes is all part of being human, and together they discover the true meaning of the word "HOME."
The "HOME" lighting collection is the latest installment in the Lamps Plus art shade program, which offers original and licensed artwork on lamp shades using the company's patented, high-quality Giclée printing process. Official "HOME" lighting is available in floor lamps, table lamps, swag chandeliers and lamp shades, starting at $69.99.
