George Kovacs, a designer, manufacturer and importer of innovative and stylish modern lighting fixtures who introduced the ubiquitous halogen torchiere to the United States It was in the early 1970s that Mr. Kovacs introduced the first American-made halogen torchiere — a lamp on a tall pole with a small head holding a slender quartz bulb. Its long-lasting, extremely hot bulb could bounce enough light off a ceiling to fill a room. Halogen lamps were introduced in Europe in the 1960s, but it was only after Mr. Kovacs began to make them in the United States that many other manufacturers began to market their own variations.
