Exhibit A+

If we were to curate a museum gallery showcasing the most fabulous fixtures of our era, these lighting masterpieces would definitely make the grade.

image/jpeg iconLight source and shade are one in the innovative Cielo pendant. What appears to be a typical lamp shade from the outside is actually 24 LEDs sandwiched between a fabric shade and an acrylic liner, creating a “magic” fixture with no visible lamp. www.philips.com [1]
image/jpeg iconDesigned by Dorian Webb, the Palla Collection, which is Italian for “sphere,” was inspired by one of Webb’s bracelet designs. Irregularly shaped discs of white capiz shell give the fixture a natural look, while hand-cut crystals lend it some sparkle. www.crystorama.com [2]
image/jpeg iconThe eye-catching Tilda five-light chandelier is an organic twist on a traditional tiered design. A painted frame and irregular wood “candles” add a whimsical feel. www.arteriorshome.com [3]
image/jpeg iconHandcrafted at the company’s Vermont forge, Brindille features abstract steel “twigs” suspended below a clean, rectangular shade for a look that’s both rustic and contemporary. www.hubbardtonforge.com [4]
image/jpeg iconCrystal and polished stainless steel prisms shooting out from a crystal diffuser give Inertia a modern vibe. www.corbettlighting.com [5]
image/jpeg iconDesigned by Stephen Burks for the company’s Lighting Centerpieces Collection, Inside/Out has a certain industrial elegance, combining LED technology with crystal diffusers. Tiny pinpricks of light around the fixture’s ring add another level of sparkle. www.architecture.swarovski.com [6]
image/jpeg iconThe Ocean Drive collection has an art deco feel, thanks to its gilded silver finish and capiz shell trim. Most notable, though, are the fixture’s uniquely intertwined arms. www.authenticitylighting.com [7]
image/jpeg iconJonathan Adler designed this dynamic chandelier, which looks as though it’s exploding in all directions. www.robertabbey.com [8]
image/jpeg iconA gold abstract branch design gives the striking Twig pendant an organic yet modern look. www.globalviews.com [9]
image/jpeg iconDesigners reinterpreted the traditional crystal chandelier into this dramatic statement piece, which was inspired by a modern brooch. Clear crystals of varying sizes are fixed around two interconnecting circles, all pointing toward the fixture’s vanishing point in the center. www.lbllighting.com [10]
