Modern Chandeliers and Pendants
MODERN STYLE
The late 19th and early 20th centuries saw sweeping social change and major scientific advances — both of which contributed to a new aesthetic: modernism. Rejecting the rigidity of Victorian artistic conventions, modernists sought a new means of expression. References to the natural world and ornate classical embellishments gave way to the sleek simplicity of the Machine Age. Architect Philip Johnson characterized the hallmarks of modernism as “machine-like simplicity, smoothness or surface [and] avoidance of ornament.”
Early practitioners of modernist design include the De Stijl (“The Style”) group, founded in the Netherlands in 1917, and the Bauhaus School, founded two years later in Germany.
Followers of both groups produced sleek, spare designs — many of which became icons of daily life in the 20th century. The modernists rejected both natural and historical references and relied primarily on industrial materials such as metal, glass, plywood, and, later, plastics. While Bauhaus principals Marcel Breuer and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe created furniture from mass-produced, chrome-plated steel, American visionaries like Charles and Ray Eames worked in materials as novel as molded plywood and fiberglass. Today, Breuer’s Wassily chair, Mies van der Rohe’s Barcelona chair — crafted with his romantic partner, designer Lilly Reich — and the Eames lounge chair are emblems of progressive design and vintage originals are prized cornerstones of collections.
It’s difficult to overstate the influence that modernism continues to wield over designers and architects — and equally difficult to overstate how revolutionary it was when it first appeared a century ago. But because modernist furniture designs are so simple, they can blend in seamlessly with just about any type of décor. Don’t overlook them.

Coco Chandelier, Configuration 04 in Aged Brass by Larose Guyon
By Larose Guyon
Located in Vercheres, Quebec
Coco is a tribute to Gabrielle Chasnel, famously known as Coco Chanel. In the 1930s, she became the first woman to launch a fine jewelry collection. Chanel never left home without her pearls, she used them not only as jewelry, but as accents sewn into her light, diaphanous evening gowns.
Coco by Larose Guyon evokes that supple, elegant and wondrous intersection of jewelry and light. Like a string of pearls, this lamp’s 10 hand-blown glass globes can be arranged in several configurations to adapt to the setting where it will be admired. The finishing touch for this luminous gem is a counterweight and hook that can be added or moved from one “pearl” to another, providing all the flexibility needed for the lamp to fit its space to perfection.
Entirely handmade by local artisans, its artistic approach makes Coco a piece of lighting art, bringing finesse, beauty and poetry to any space. From brass to copper to nickel and fossil black...
