Lightolier Lighting

Founded in 1904 in New York and family-operated through most of its history, Lightolier was one of the pioneering American electric lighting companies, best known for its embrace of stylistic and technical innovations.

Collectors focus on vintage Lightolier lighting fixtures produced from the 1950s and into the 1970s, when an in-house design team led by Gerald Thurston — and a stellar cast of international design contributors — created an array of practical yet aesthetically lively table lamps, floor lamps, sconces and chandeliers.

Amidst the post-World War II building boom, Lightolier — the name combines “light” and “chandelier” — aggressively boosted its residential lighting division. Thurston, who was strongly influenced by the sleek designs of Gino Sarfatti and his Italian lighting firm Arteluce, towards simpler lamp designs that offered flexibility of function. His best-known designs include the Cricket task light — a lamp with an adjustable enameled metal hood that toggles on a slender bent-metal base — and the three-legged Tripod floor lamp. At the same time, Thurston had a wonderful eye for talent and sought work from some of the lesser-known greats of the era, such as Paavo Tynell, the Finnish lighting designer, who designed several brass chandeliers for Lightolier with his trademark elegant flamboyance.

And more, Thurston recognized abilities in designers not known for their work in lighting.

Edward Wormley, head of furniture design for Dunbar, produced several noteworthy chandeliers employing canisters and reflective hoods. Alvin Lustig was famed as a graphic designer. His ca. 1953 Ring ceiling fixture for Lightolier had a minimalist techno look some 30 years ahead of its time. But this was par. Designed by Michael Lax in 1964, the Lytegem high-intensity lamp — included in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art — features a ball-shaped shade attached with a chromed armature to a cubic base, a form that would be widely copied in the following decade. Chandeliers designed in the early 1970s by Gaetano Sciolari, with details such as acrylic diffusers and vertical, two-bulb arms, would define the look of lighting in their day.

A look through these pages reveals just how astonishingly wide a range of lighting pieces Lightolier produced. The company never flicked off its stylistic switch.

Pair of Gerald Thurston Fin Lamps for Lightolier
By Gerald Thurston, Lightolier
Located in Kilmarnock, VA
A rare and sculptural pair of table lamps by Gerard Thurston, each featuring a stoneware body composed of four parabolic, fin-like forms in alternating concave Navy and light turquoise glazes. The juxtaposition of color and form gives the lamps a dynamic rhythm—modern, architectural, and richly textured. The ceramic bodies rest on star-shaped brass bases with rounded ball feet, adding a metallic contrast to the soft curves and glaze of the stoneware. This elegant grounding element hints at Thurston's ability to blend organic form with precise, futuristic detailing. The original lacquered shades, measuring 16 inches in diameter, complete the composition with their crisp, modernist lines—preserving the integrity of the original design and making the pair an exceptional find for collectors and designers alike. Gerard Thurston was among the mid-century American designers who brought sculptural sensitivity to functional lighting, and his pieces were often featured in high-end interiors during the 1950s and 1960s. These lamps would have appealed to designers such as Edward Wormley or Tommi Parzinger, and today they fit effortlessly into interiors curated by Steven Volpe...
