BROOKLYN, N.Y.-BASED ZIA-PRIVEN DESIGN’S “MINERVA BUST 
LAMP” 
TO BE FEATURED ON FIFTH SEASON OF NBC’S “THE APPRENTICE” 
 
NEW YORK (March 1, 2006) — Donald Trump’s living room on 
the set of the fifth season of NBC’s “The Apprentice” just 
got a bit classier with a featured product from one of New 
York’s fastest-growing companies: Zia-Priven Design. The 
Brooklyn, N.Y.-based chic lighting manufacturer’s “Minerva 
Bust Lamp” – from its new ZP Studio Collection – will be 
prominently showcased on the hit NBC series, which debuted 
Feb. 27 and airs every Monday at 9/8 p.m. Central time. 
 
The beautiful, 34-inch-high Minerva Bust Lamp is mounted on 
a thick Lucite base with polished nickel stem and a Lucite 
finial to match. The stately female bust’s matte black 
shade with low luster adds subtle drama and low sheen. 
Perhaps appropriately named to fit the captivating 
competition on "The Apprentice", The Minerva Lamp was 
inspired by Minerva, the Roman goddess of crafts and 
wisdom. She was the daughter of Jupiter and Metis, and was 
considered to be the virgin goddess of warriors, poetry, 
medicine, wisdom, commerce, crafts and the inventor of 
music.  
 
“We thought juxtaposing a classic Roman goddess of crafts 
and wisdom with 21st-century Hollywood would be a unique 
contrast for the wildly popular ‘Apprentice.’ This product 
is one of our favorites from our new collection, and we 
hope viewers will appreciate it and be drawn to it as much 
as we are,” said Marcia Zia-Priven, partner, Zia-Priven 
Design. The completely new Zia-Priven Studio Collection can 
be viewed on the company’s Web site: www.ziapriven.com.
