A CHANDELIER YOU ASK? WHERE ARE THE CRYSTALS?  Chandeliers aren't what one normally thinks of when considering lighting for a modern home.  Usually the calling card of palacial estates or ornately decorated mansions, the chandelier had received a modern upgrade with Palluco's brass "Glow" Chandelier, designed by Enrico Fanzoline and Vincente Garcia Jimenez.  With an encased light surrounded by brass casing reminiscent of origami, the "Glow" Chandelier appears to be suspended within a circle of light.  Available in red, white, black and burnished brass, this unique design is also available in a floor model.

SUBTLE AND MOD DON’T USUALLY GO TOGETHER, but Lights Up’s columnar table lamps manage to bring both words without rending the space-time continuum. Patterns such as faux bois (wood), kimono and snowflakes are printed onto silk shades; unlike most lamps the shades are all-or-nothing affairs and dominate the entire lamp. A brushed nickel base rounds out each lamp; strict minimalists can also purchase all white or natural linen shades.

CLOTHED IN BLACK AND LINED WITH JEWELS the Lola Chandelier looks like a questionable lady of the night, but we can’t deny its obvious sex appeal. The jewels are actually Swarovski crystals; seductively glimmering within a quartet of powder-coated carapaces, they are only visible from certain angles. The shell itself can also be clad in stainless steel; this option is a little less sensual but attractive nevertheless.

BESIDES BEING FREAKIN’ SEXY the Loop Light is also efficient; its hollow frame presents a low visibility LED lamp that simultaneously stays lit and out of the way. At present still a prototype under development by Norwegian group Trokk16, Loop already possesses a surprising degree of finesse with a beautiful mirror polished surface to further streamline its profile. Future enhancements such as the ability to tilt will only increase the appeal of this ultra minimalist piece.

GRAFFITI AS CONSUMER ART seems an odd combination but it actually works quite well with Donna Brady’s unique Hi-Light pendants, made from photos of her Brooklyn neighborhood. The names are appropriately urban (take a walk down Kent Street) and the textures unforgettably so: rusted metal walls and pitted concrete surfaces over smooth cylindrical shades make for gritty-meets-swank decor. There’s a raw, untamed beauty to graffiti in general–let’s hope these help to draw awareness to urban blight as much as they capitalize on it.
