The New Chandelier

Outlined Outliers: In Crystorama’s eight-light Luna chandelier, an on-trend bronze and gold color scheme adds a fashion-forward spin. The candelabra bulbs emit a warm glow from within the four coinciding wrought iron spheres. www.crystorama.com

Outlined Outliers: Chandeliers that fill space over dining room tables or kitchen islands are no longer status quo. Au courant shapes and configurations can create a look that’s artistic but still functional. In Hoops by ET2, multiple sizes of Polished Chrome light rings can be arranged in various configurations. With a CRI of 80+ and 3000K color temperature, the fixture contains continuous strips of LEDs that are mounted inwards toward the center for indirect illumination. www.et2online.com

Sleek Story: Less is more now, with streamlined, linear shapes offered minus the extra embellishments. Kalco’s Mid-Century Modern Milo chandelier comes in a two-tone matte black and vintage brass finish with six sleek arms that let the cone-shaped shades be the star. www.kalco.com

Hudson Valley Abrams — Sleek Story: Hudson Valley’s Abrams fixture mounts elongated candlesticks of finished metal into wide black cross pieces. Each arm contains a socket on either side with an exposed vintage bulb. www.hudsonvalleylighting.com

Sleek Story: In Seraph by Blackjack Lighting, narrow casings that house laser etchings illuminated by LEDs create a candle-like illusion. www.blackjacklighting.com

Kichler — Gen 2: Sputnik Starburst shapes broke out in the last year and they’re maintaining popularity, especially as a substitute to tired forms. In the Webster 10-light chandelier by Arteriors, the adjustable arms, finished in Vintage Silver, can be rearranged to meet a desired effect, like outwards to create a horizontal shape. www.arteriorshome.com

Arteriors — Gen 2: Sputnik The same goes for Kichler’s Armstrong — this Mid-Century Modern chandelier’s Natural Brass arms can be positioned virtually horizontal to stretch across a room for the type of “grand presence” that’s still desired. www.kichler.com

Savory House — Fresh Cascade: With roots in the traditional chandelier form, updated cascading arrangements bring a modern feel to the category. In the nine-light Ravenia chandelier by Savoy House, descending rows of arms that extend at different angles hold large clear glass egg-shaped orbs. www.savoyhouse.com

Tech Lighting Patrona Satin Gold — Fresh Cascade: In the Patrona suspension by Tech Lighting, 22 metal stems, each bearing a sleek crystal shade illuminated by a diffused LED, taper at varying angles and lengths to create a contemporary interpretation of the classic crystal chandelier. www.techlighting.com

We’ve arrived at the modern frontier of lighting fixtures where a chandelier is no longer defined by eight arms and a load of crystal. Refreshed shapes and brand new forms, many of which were just only made possible by the LED explosion, are reinventing an age-old look.
