About the Item
Original Holophane Pendant Ceiling Light – Vintage Industrial Glass Shade
Illuminate your space with the timeless elegance of the Original Holophane Pendant Ceiling Light, featuring a lustrous nickel chrome fitting. Invented in the 1890s by French scientist André Blondel and Greek engineer Spiridion Psaroudaki, Holophane glass revolutionized lighting with its innovative prismatic design. The term "Holophane" derives from the Greek words holos (whole) and phainein (to appear), meaning "to appear completely luminous"
Crafted from clear molded glass with parallel or crosscut prisms, Holophane shades are engineered to refract and reflect light, providing optimal illumination with minimal glare. This design ensures a well-distributed light spread, making it ideal for kitchens, dining areas, and loft spaces.
The pendant light's nickel chrome fitting adds a touch of modern sophistication, complementing the vintage charm of the Holophane glass shade. Whether you're aiming for a mid-century industrial aesthetic or a classic vintage look, this pendant light seamlessly blends functionality with style.
