ZIA-PRIVEN DESIGN LIGHTS UP THE WINDY CITY IN THE 
BARBARA PEARLMAN DESIGN ATELIER SHOWROOMS IN THE 
MERCHANDISE MART 
 
Glamorous New York lighting manufacturer brings its full 
Couture Collection to 
Chicago for the first time this summer 
 
 
NEW YORK (Aug. 1, 2007) — Zia-Priven Design, an 
award-winning and ultra-chic lighting manufacturer based in 
New York, will debut its full ZP Couture Collection for the 
first time in Chicago this summer. The two Barbara Pearlman 
Design Atelier showrooms inside The Merchandise Mart -- 
Modern at Design Atelier in suite 1848 and Traditional at 
Design Atelier in suite 6-148 -- will carry the glamorous 
and fully customizable product line year-round for interior 
design and related trade professionals. 
 
“We have admired Barbara’s work and dazzling style for many 
years. It is an honor for us to have Zia-Priven Design 
products carried in her showrooms,” said Paul Priven, 
partner, Zia-Priven Design. “Our modern lines complement 
the Design Atelier’s existing offerings perfectly, and our 
transitional lighting combines a vintage look with 
contemporary influences to give interior designers more 
choices as they visit the world-famous Merchandise Mart.” 
 
The ZP Couture Collection features custom lighting to the 
trade, including elegant chandeliers and pendants such as 
the new Lexington Chandelier; part of Zia-Priven Design’s 
brand new Exotic Wood Collection; beautiful sconces; sleek 
marble table lamps; and ornate pendant finials and 
accessories. Zia-Priven accommodates all commercial, 
interior and hospitality requirements. All of its products 
can be made to any custom size, fabric and finish, and any 
electrical requirements can be met in order to create a 
uniquely spectacular look for any interior environment.  
 
The innovative husband-and-wife team behind Zia-Priven 
Design, Emmy Award-nominated Marcia Zia and Paul Priven, 
garnered much media attention with their 10-foot-tall Troy 
Chandelier. A modern reinterpretation of the classic French 
Empire chandelier, the Troy is made out of more than 3,000 
ping pong balls and was featured in the lounge at the 2006 
Architectural Digest Home Design Show in New York. The 
Troy, as well as many other products, has been featured in 
numerous worldwide publications including The New York 
Times, Interior Design magazine, Architectural Digest and 
Elle Décor. 
 
“Any Chicago-area interior designer who hasn’t been to our 
showrooms lately should visit soon and become familiar with 
Zia-Priven Design,” said Barbara Pearlman, president, 
Design Atelier. “I was drawn to Marcia’s and Paul’s 
products because of their unique look and fine 
craftsmanship. Their design philosophy is based on a 
contemporary-traditional fusion, which makes their products 
timeless classics appropriate in residences and hospitality 
settings. This is the next big company in lighting.”
