Finding the Right chandeliers-pendant-lights for You
Chandeliers — simple in form, inspired by candelabras and originally made of wood or iron — first made an appearance in early churches. For those wealthy enough to afford them for their homes in the medieval period, a chandelier's suspended lights likely exuded imminent danger, as lit candles served as the light source for fixtures of the era. Things have thankfully changed since then, and antique and vintage chandeliers and pendant lights are popular in many interiors today.
While gas lighting during the late 18th century represented an upgrade for chandeliers — and gas lamps would long inspire Danish architect and pioneering modernist lighting designer Poul Henningsen — it would eventually be replaced with the familiar electric lighting of today.
The key difference between a pendant light and a chandelier is that a pendant incorporates only a single bulb into its design. Don’t mistake this for simplicity, however. An Art Deco–styled homage to Sputnik from Murano glass artisans Giovanni Dalla Fina (note: there is more than one lighting fixture that shares its name with the iconic mid-century-era satellite — see Gino Sarfatti’s design too), with handcrafted decorative elements supported by a chrome frame, is just one stunning example of the elaborate engineering that can be incorporated into every component of a chandelier.
Chandeliers have evolved over time, but their classic elegance has remained unchanged. Not only will the right chandelier prove impressive in a given room, but it can also offer a certain sense of practicality. These fixtures can easily illuminate an entire space, while their elevated position prevents them from creating glare or straining one’s eyes. Certain materials, like glass, can complement naturally lit settings without stealing the show. Brass, on the other hand, can introduce an alluring, warm glow. While LEDs have earned a bad reputation for their perceived harsh bluish lights and a loss of brightness over their life span, the right design choices can help harness their lighting potential and create the perfect mood. A careful approach to lighting can transform your room into a peaceful and cozy nook, ideal for napping, reading or working.
For midsize spaces, a wall light or sconce can pull the room together and get the lighting job done. Perforated steel rings underneath five bands of handspun aluminum support a rich diffusion of light within Alvar Aalto's Beehive pendant light, but if you’re looking to brighten a more modest room, perhaps a minimalist solution is what you’re after. The mid-century modern furniture designer Charlotte Perriand devised her CP-1 wall lamps in the 1960s, in which a repositioning of sheet-metal plates can redirect light as needed.
The versatility and variability of these lighting staples mean that, when it comes to finding something like the perfect chandelier, you’ll never be left hanging. From the whimsical — like the work of Beau & Bien’s Sylvie Maréchal, frequently inspired by her dreams — to the classic beauty of Paul Ferrante's fixtures, there is a style for every room. With designs for pendant lights and chandeliers across eras, colors and materials, you’ll never run out of options to explore on 1stDibs.
Questions About Coco Chanel Chandelier
- Who is Coco Chanel?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertJanuary 4, 2022Coco Chanel, born Gabrielle Chanel in France in 1883, was a fashion designer who got her nickname during her short-lived career as a cabaret singer. In 1910, she opened a boutique in Paris to sell her hats, which were beloved by the popular French actresses of the era. Her success with hats led her to open the first Chanel Couture House five years later, where she designed and sold women’s sportswear made of jersey — which until then was used to make men’s underwear. Her revolutionary style catapulted her to fame, and in the decades that followed, Coco Chanel remained on the cutting edge of fashion, creating modern, timeless clothing, perfumes and accessories — and, of course, her iconic bags, which are revered to this day. Shop a collection of Chanel from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- How was Coco Chanel influential?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023Coco Chanel was influential because she reimagined apparel typically reserved for men, like blazers in feminine cuts and softer fabrics. Effortless and elegant, Chanel's designs promoted comfort and grace in women’s wear that had been dominated in the previous century by complicated layers of fabric and cumbersome corsets. On 1stDibs, find a collection of Chanel pieces from some of the world's top boutiques.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 27, 2024Coco Chanel is most famous for founding the luxury French fashion house Chanel in 1910. In addition, she is known for creating the first-ever handbag to feature a shoulder strap, the 2.55 Flap Bag, in 1955. Chanel also created the little black dress in 1926. On 1stDibs, find a variety of Chanel apparel, bags, shoes and accessories.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022There are a number of Chanel Coco Handle bags available. The bag, also known as the Flap Bag with Handle, comes in mini, small, standard and large sizes. Classic materials include grained calfskin and smooth lambskin. Chanel also produced the bag in tweed and velvet in the past. On 1stDibs, find a variety of Chanel handbags.
- What bag did Coco Chanel use?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023Coco Chanel used many bags over the course of her life, but there is little information about which specific bags she carried. There are accounts that the acclaimed designer sported her iconic 2.55 Flap Bag, which was the first bag to ever feature a shoulder strap when it debuted in 1955. Some say that she used the hidden zipper compartment in the quilted shoulder bag to hide love letters from an admirer. On 1stDibs, shop a wide variety of Chanel bags.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 15, 2024After Coco died, Yvonne Dudel, Jean Cazaubon and Philippe Guibourgé took over Chanel. During the early 1970s, Jacques Wertheimer purchased the controlling interest in the French fashion house, and his son, Alain Wertheimer, took over for him in 1974. Karl Lagerfeld became the creative director of Chanel in 1983 and served in the role until his death in 2019. On 1stDibs, shop a range of Chanel apparel, bags and accessories.
- 1stDibs ExpertDecember 12, 2023Coco Chanel made the quilted purse known as the 2.55 to solve a problem. The handbags that were available during the early 20th century were often hard to carry because they only had handles. Chanel added a chain strap to the 2.55, giving women the freedom to sling it over their shoulders for easy carrying. As to why the 2.55 featured diamond quilting, she was enamored with the pattern, which she first encountered on saddle cloths, groom's jackets and horse blankets at a friend's stables, and introduced it to her designs in the 1920s. By the time the 2.55 debuted in 1955, diamond quilting had become synonymous with the French fashion house. On 1stDibs, explore a wide variety of Chanel bags.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 4, 2024The first Coco Chanel fashion shows were reportedly held on rue Cambon in Paris.
The first Chanel shop was established in 1910 in the French capital at 31 rue Cambon by the young milliner Gabrielle Chanel, who had picked up the nickname "Coco" while working as a club singer. The boutique drew the attention of the Parisian fashion elite who popularized her wide-brimmed Chanel Modes hats. The ground floor housed the boutique, while the area upstairs was utilized for a salon for couture fittings as well as a space for models to show off Chanel's present collections.
Find vintage Chanel handbags, clothing and accessories on 1stDibs. - 1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023Coco Chanel first made the little black dress popular in 1926. That year, Vogue magazine referred to the dress as Chanel’s Model T as a way to describe how the approachable design was something the average woman could wear, just as Ford’s Model T automobile made it possible for more everyday people to own a car. On 1stDibs, find a selection of Chanel dresses.
