Set of 3 Brutalist Pendant Lights

About the Item

These are the kind of light fixture Brutalist Architect Marcel Breuer would have used to hang over one of his cool chair designs. Brutalism in design. A style that intentionally attempts to look raw, haphazard, or unadorned. Rough is sexy. One aspect of Brutalism is to expressed as bare-bones, almost naked approach to beauty. As if nature had its way with it. The pressed glass on these pendants echos a sea urchin's skin. The brass has aged, even further than it's natural rough design originally, giving it multiple tones, depending on the angle which you are viewing. Perfectly imperfect. Original fixture and glass have been freshly rewired. All new sockets and UL certified wiring. 1 x 60 watts each. Lights hang at an adjustable 53" and canopies come with all the hardware needed to attach to a modern, US j-box. A beautiful example of the movement, they'd look great over a kitchen or bar counter.

  • Set of 3 Industrial Modern X-Ray Shade Pendants
    By Mark Bell
    Located in Berkeley, CA
    These three large Mercury shade pendants are both "in the style" of the period, and "of the period."
