About the Item
A well-chosen lighting piece can change the overall look of a room and how it feels to be in that room. Historically, chandeliers would hang in the foyer or dining room, however, nowadays, a ceiling lights are often placed in smaller rooms or even a bathroom to set the aesthetic impression of the space.
This marvelous ceiling lamp has a brass frame with three opal glass shades on each curved brass pole. The combination of brass and glass was especially characteristic of Scandinavian designers of the era as the brass shines beautifully when the light is on. Thanks to the symmetrical arrangement of the brass poles and shades, the design is airy leaving the focus on the opal glass and brass. At the same time, it also allows the decorated cluster to stay visible from every angle. The finial and V-shaped brass “vase” on the cluster are beautifully crafted with the latter adjusted to the rods’ curves. The brass tubing emerges from this “vase”- like form and has a long, straight look that highlights the shades’ and cluster’s shape. The shade holders, like the cluster, have grey powder coating with brass rings on them. This feature gives a lot of character to his model, while also distinguishing it from similar ones. Overall, the design is very successful at mixing traditional and modern elements while staying true to the guiding principles of mid-century modernism.
While lighting fixtures go in and out of style, some ceiling lamps will always look in style. This brass model is one such design; thanks to its timeless aesthetic and quality, it is certain to look good with various furniture pieces and interior styles.
