Corbett Lighting’s Theory ceiling fixture is an ode to
midcentury Italian design, with horizontal spokes alter-
nating clear glass and gold-leaf iron rods. Calibrated
LEDs gracefully cast light up and down. Metropolis’ in-
terconnecting, hand-forged iron cubes surround an LED
light source, and the whole thing is suspended on aircraft
cables. The piece melds 21st century and modernist de-
sign.
The shape of Humanscale’s Vessel quartz crystal pen-
dant conceals a glare-free LED that makes it seem lit from
within. The effect would play well in a hallway or over a
long table or island.
Restoration Hardware’s collection of forged brass, steel
or bronze pendants in drum, funnel or dome shapes has
an industrial vibe.
Jonathan Browning was inspired by ‘60s French mini-
malist design for his Aquitaine series, which features slen-
der brass, nickel or bronze tapers tipped with faceted
LEDs, suspended on black cord. And a turn-of-the-cen-
tury Venetian design is updated in the soft curves of Icaro,
with fiberglass replacing Fortuny silk, and gold or silver
metal-leaf trim adding romantic flair.
At Rejuvenation Lighting, designer Brendon Farrell of
Portland, Oregon, has a floor lamp with an elongated
linen drum shade perched on a brass stand; the stand is
embedded in a white or black oak ball base. And art meets
engineering in Contrapesso, O & G Studio’s pendant, in
which an LED-lit glass ball is counterbalanced by a small
brass or bronze globe. It’s lighting made acrobatic.
