7 Ciel Chandelier by Ludovic Clément d'Armont
Located in Geneve, CH
7 Ciel chandelier by Ludovic Clément d'Armont Every creation of Ludovic Clément d’Armont can be made to order in any requested dimensions. Please contact us for custom made creations. 2020 Materials: Polished brass, canopy, blown glass, LEDs Dimensions: diameter 55 x 100 cm After the lights evoking the Stars, the Moon and Planets, Semeur d’étoiles (Star Sower) wanted to propose a sky evocating piece. Thus, this chandelier consists of glassware reproducing a cloudy sky. Ciel (Sky) glassware can also be mounted differently: table lamp, mobile chandeliers, necklace chandelier. This is only an example. We manufacture bespoke chandeliers: size, quantity, finishes, light, textures. Ludovic Clément d’Armont is the creator of Semeur d’étoiles. That is the continuation of a family tradition of centuries of gentle glassmakers, painters, carpenters and artists. Both an engineer and an artist, he combines creative emotions with optical, electronic, thermal, environmental, electrical, chemical, color, energy, mechanical and medical considerations. His pleasure is do discuss with you to achieve the ideal piece. Ludovic presents his approach: “First, the simplicity of my work is based on a fundamental thought, nature and science are similar. My creative process marks the identity of mathematics and nature, the selective experimentation of the nature and human research lead to the same decisions. «That is why, analysis and experimentation mingle in my creation. Because the intelligence of nature is the long time of his experiments, just like that of man is the number of its research. The aesthetic result aims to illustrate and proclaim this, in a dreamy and amazed shout, showing the fusion of sciences and life. The place of man inside the Universe is thus clear: humanism becomes the demonstrated organization of society.» Semeur d’étoiles designs and manufactures lighting artworks: sculptures, chandeliers, lighting walls and ceilings Eco-friendly design is our DNA embarrassed by prestigious clients such as Vincent Darré, Bismut & Bismut, LVMH and State of Craft.

Vintage, New and Antique Lanterns

Whether you’re in search of a functional fixture to help illuminate a room or just a minimalist ornamental touch, the choice of lighting is important. Selecting the perfect vintage, new or antique lanterns can transform an otherwise monotonous space in your home.

In the 1700s, lanterns became widely popular when accessibility broadened for whale oil, as fuel for lamps was one of its earliest uses. Lantern design evolved considerably during the mid- to late 19th century, when a powerful, adaptable fuel came into play: kerosene. Portable and immediately sought after, kerosene lamps were traditionally surrounded by a glass globe or tube that sat on a metal frame to protect the flame from spreading or extinguishing. (While reproductions abound, antique kerosene lanterns have since become collector's items.)

Later, in 1862, John H. Irwin created coil oil lamps, which were designed for coal oils as well as kerosene and lessened the risk of fire. They required plentiful oxygen to remain lit, and with refinements, the lamps could be used indoors. Lanterns increasingly came to be part of commercial spaces such as museums and theaters, and over time, lighting artisans worked to refine and perfect these innovative fixtures so that they weren’t only practical but also elegant, sophisticated additions to home decor.

Antiques inject a touch of classical chic into any space. With the right lantern, you could also deepen the impact of the collection of vases and vessels, sculptures or other decorative objects in a living room or dining room. It’s essential to find a balance between utility and aesthetics when choosing the perfect vintage–style lantern for your space, and the right lighting decisions can determine the underlying mood of a room as well as enhance the choices you’ve made for your home’s decor. While old-time charm is something to be cherished, there is lots to love in modern lanterns from today’s top furniture designers.

On 1stDibs, search by creator to find lanterns crafted by the likes of Woka Lamps, Barovier & Toso and Material Lust or browse the collection by style. From today’s standouts to mid-century modern classics to Art Deco–era innovations, find the best vintage, new or antique lantern for you now.
