Finding the Right Lighting for You
The right table lamp, outwardly sculptural chandelier or understated wall pendant can work wonders for your home. While we’re indebted to thinkers like Thomas Edison for critically important advancements in lighting and electricity, we’re still finding new ways to customize illumination to fit our personal spaces all these years later. A wide range of antique and vintage lighting can be found on 1stDibs.
Today, lighting designers like the self-taught Bec Brittain have used the flexible structure of LEDs to craft glamorous solutions by working with what is typically considered a harsh lighting source. By integrating glass and mirrors, reflection can be used to soften the glow from LEDs and warmly welcome light into any space.
Although contemporary innovators continue to impress, some of the classics can’t be beat.
Just as gazing at the stars allows you to glimpse the universe’s past, vintage chandeliers like those designed by Gino Sarfatti and J. & L. Lobmeyr, for example, put on a similarly stunning show, each with a rich story to tell.
As dazzling as it is, the Arco lamp, on the other hand, prioritizes functionality — it’s wholly mobile, no drilling required. Designed in 1962 by architect-product designers Achille & Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, the piece takes the traditional form of a streetlamp and creates an elegant, arching floor fixture for at-home use.
There is no shortage of modernist lighting similarly prized by collectors and casual enthusiasts alike — there are Art Deco table lamps created in a universally appreciated style, the Tripod floor lamp by T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings, Greta Magnusson Grossman's sleek and minimalist Grasshopper lamps and, of course, the wealth of mid-century experimental lighting that emerged from Italian artisans at Arredoluce, FLOS and many more are hallmarks in illumination innovation.
With decades of design evolution behind it, home lighting is no longer just practical. Crystalline shaping by designers like Gabriel Scott turns every lighting apparatus into a luxury accessory. A new installation doesn’t merely showcase a space; carefully chosen ceiling lights, table lamps and floor lamps can create a mood, spotlight a favorite piece or highlight your unique personality.
The sparkle that your space has been missing is waiting for you amid the growing collection of antique, vintage and contemporary lighting for sale on 1stDibs.
Questions About Brutalist Light Fixture
- What Is a swag light fixture?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021A swag light fixture is a normal lamp fixed to the ceiling. It comes with two hooks to screw it to the ceiling, along with a cord that plugs into the wall. A swag light is usually used to deck up a small corner for reading or a playing area or above the dining table. They provide an economic light source that takes up minimal space. On 1stDibs, shop vintage and antique light fixtures.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021A fitter is a mechanism by which a lampshade attaches to a lamp. There are different types of fitters including the washer, the clip, the Uno, and the Chimney.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 30, 2024Some types of light fixtures include flush mount lighting, pendants, chandeliers, wall-mounted lighting, floor lamps and table lamps. A light fixture that sits level with the ceiling is a flush-mount light, while one that extends slightly from the ceiling is a semi-flush light. Pendants are light fixtures that hang from the ceiling on a chain. If they feature multiple lights arranged in a frame, hanging lights are known as chandeliers. Wall-mounted lights are referred to as sconces. A lamp is a light fixture with a base and a shade that can be sized to fit a table or to rest on the floor. On 1stDibs, shop a wide variety of light fixtures.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021Matte black is a color that is in style for light fixtures. Clear pendants and neutral-colored geometric chandeliers are also trending. However, the choice for color and type of light fixtures is personal — consider the furniture style and décor that best works for you. Find a collection of light fixtures on 1stDibs today.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021Flush mount lighting fixtures are among the most convenient ways to light a small room with a low ceiling. These structures sit directly against the ceiling’s surface and cast light downward, illuminating a large area and defining the room. Semi-flush mount lighting fixtures hang several inches from the ceiling. They also produce ambient light but can be a little more decorative and lean toward the style of chandeliers. Shop a collection of antique, vintage, and contemporary flush mount lighting from some of the world’s top dealers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021A light fixture should hang 7 feet off the floor or 3 feet above a table. As a general rule of thumb, one should not look into a light fixture when they are standing.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Adding a pull switch to a light is actually possible. To do so you must remove the fixture and drill a hole to screw in the pull switch. Then you need to wire the black wires through the pull switch to connect it to the fixture. Warning: Electrical work should only be conducted by professionals.
