About the Item

The best thing about hanging ceiling lights - besides their stylish look - is that they are the best option to make interiors appear more spacious. They can be used them to concentrate light, or to just add an accent to the room. This lamp’s design revolves around the clear glass sphere. Glass is the perfect material for light shades as it allows light to pass through it. This means that glass light shades offer almost as much illumination as a bare light bulb. The result is bright and vibrant light, and this is exactly what this model offers. The design’s main point is its effective simpleness, free of any unnecessary detail. The uncluttered look leaves the attention on the materials and on functionality that the form is also in service of. As such, the canopy, the rod, and the shade holder are all quite understated, accentuating the glass shade instead. The pairing of glass and brass is perhaps the most iconic material duo in mid-century modern European lighting design, and for a good reason: the light emitted from the glass shades brightens up the colour of the brass to create a cosy, stylish effect. The evidently modern approach particularly exemplifies the aesthetic of European mid-century lighting design, favouring clean and innovative shapes and forms, and of course, brass and glass. The airy arrangement further accentuates the separate elements and the quality of the execution. The design, while quite succinct with clear lines and precision in the smallest details, still possesses a luxurious impression. European mid-century designers and craftsmen were masters of expressing quality with simplicity, which is expressed in this model as well. The main decorative element remains the spherical shade itself; the clear glass has a bright look when lit, showing off the bulb. This model has an outstanding sense of proportions and balance with an inherently modern look that is sure to stand out in any space. Condition: In good vintage condition.
